Review Quotes

Kids and adults will giggle through this adorably rhymed and illustrated book as the Popishes try method after wonderfully silly method to get their massive cucumber harvest washed.

A recurring refrain of

"Cucumbers here,

cucumbers there.

Cucumbers, cucumbers

everywhere!"

will encourage non-readers and young readers alike to join in read-alouds, along with predictable rhymes in the rest of this rollicking story.

Gardeners of all ages will enjoy Tiffany Haifley's Mrs. Popish's Pickles pickling adventure, as well as non-gardeners, who may be inspired to plant their own cucumbers, cucumbers everywhere!
