My Antelope Loves Cantaloupe

To nourish the love of language-its music and its surprise-Harvard professor Robert Kegan appeals to all a young childs appetites- the fascination with animals the preoccupation with food the delight in the incongruous. Kegans clever text and Walshs evocative watercolors introduce the young child to the classic form of The Joke-a set up (My palominos...) and a punchline (...love jalapenos!). They cant 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 familys shared language. This book may start your child on a path to Harvard or giggles or both.
