Market Day

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Market Day…is the best day of the month, if you ask Tess. There are pigs, chickens, and sheep to see, gob stoppers and cherry lips to eat, a lace-stealing goat to watch, and more. Baba-Ali is swallowing the swords, Nuts, the organ grinder’s monkey, is up to mischief, and Madame Savanna will predict the future—for only half a penny! Market Day is wonderful, but is it long enough?

Inspired by memories of her childhood, Eve Bunting’s text conveys all the charm of a very big day in a small Irish village. Holly Berry’s joyous illustrations are the perfect complement.Thursday is market day in Tess’ small village, and the excitement begins when Father gives her a Market day penny to spend.

Together with her best friend Wee Boy, Tess explores the wondrous rollicking grounds. Eve Bunting and Holly Berry have created a boisterous, exuberant tribute to an Irish marketplace: a blaze of colors and sights that will awaken all five senses.

Find it:

Tess and Wee Boy observe the farm animals, wonder at the sword-swallower, hear playing of pipes, and experience all the excitement of a country fair in Ireland.
