Celebrate one glorious day of fresh flowers, fish, and produce at Seattle's Pike Place Market--a 100-year-old working farmer's market that steals the hearts of locals and visitors alike. With her signature cut-paper style and playful rhymes in a sturdy, oversized board book with peek-a-boo die-cuts, Sara Anderson captures the essence of the Market she treasures--not only its friendly cacophony, but also the richness of its colorful community, the secrets of its many nooks and crannies, and its irresistible summer bounty. (All ages) Ka-chub-ka-chub Salmon-in-a-tub. Shovel in ice , cold and nice. Compositionally, the look [of A Day at the Market ] resembles Jacob Lawrence's genre pieces, while the color scheme recalls Matisse, but Anderson renders her Market so assiduously that each lovely page jumps out at you like a portrait of the beloved familiar. --Roger Downey, Seattle Weekly From the early morning fruit vendors hawking their wares to a quiet moment savoring a cup of hot chocolate, from the glistening, silvery salmon announced by a fishmonger's bellow to the silent halls as they're hosed down one last time by the night workers, the full experience of a farmer's market is reflected in Sara Anderson's signature cut paper style and pitch perfect voice.
