My Antelope Loves Cantaloupe

To nourish the love of language-its music and its surprise-Harvard professor Robert Kegan appeals to all a young child''s appetites- the fascination with animals, the preoccupation with food, the delight in the incongruous.Kegan''s clever text and Walsh''s evocative watercolors introduce the young child to the classic form of The Joke-a set up ("My palominos...) and a punchline ("...love jalapenos!"). They can''t resist "telling it" over and over.My Antelope Loves Cantaloupe is the Raffi of picture books. An earworm of affectionate silliness, it will become a part of the family''s "shared language." This book may start your child on a path to Harvard, or giggles, or both.
