Synopsis
From the early morning fruit vendors hawking their wares to a quiet morning spent savoring a cup of hot chocolate, from the glistening, silvery salmon announced by a fishmonger's bellow to the silent halls as they're hosed down one last time by the night workers, the full experience of a farmer's market is reflected in Sara Anderson's signature cut-paper style and pitch-perfect voice.
Set in the halls of Seattle's fabled Pike Place Market, a place Sara Anderson has shopped and loved for almost a quarter of a century, the book vividly recreates the cacophony, variety, joy, and life that can be found in every market across the land.
Publishers Weekly
A Day at the Market by Sara Anderson also employs rhymes as it takes kids through a tour of fruit stores, coffee shops, fish markets and florists. The heavy cardboard pages allow children to see views of other spreads through die-cut openings. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
