Checking Out Off To The Market

This brightly illustrated picture book by Melbourne graphic artist and author Alice Oehr celebrates its narrator’s “favourite day of the week”— market day at the farmers market.

“Sunday is market day. We are looking for pumpkin, apples, eggs, and bread. What else will we find? Where did it come from? And what will we make with it.”

Designed for readers ages three to seven, this book provides instruction on how to shop at the market, introduces vendors and their wares, and details the fruits and vegetables and how they grown and used back home in the kitchen.
