"But the cabbage just sat there in its great green silence and never said a word."
I loved this book as a kid, and I'm reading the same large Golden book to my kids that I had read to me as a child.
Leonard Weisgard's illustrations made the book for me as a child. There was so much to look at in them, aside from the central theme of each page. That they wrapped around the text only made it better for me.
As an adult, the imagery and poetry of the words gives me pleasure when I read the book to my kids.
