Popcorn: The Frolics of Fruits and Vegetables

There are many odd, often charming, often too sappy for words, illustrations of this ilk in 

Mother Earth's Children: The Frolics of the Fruits and Vegetables.  1914

I like the looks of the green pea, string beans, barley and citron people.   It wasn't the popcorn info I was looking for, but it was...different :-)    Five and six year olds would like most these I think...
especially the girls.  The boys would like the weird ones!

Carl Sandburg's Popcorn Hat

Rootabaga Stories was written by Carl Sandburg for his three daughters.  He believed the European fairytales were not right for our American children who did not have castles and royalty laying around.  But we did have popcorn!
