What Did You Put in Your Pocket?

Beatrice Schenk de Regniers's What Did You Put in Your Pocket?, first published in 1958, receives a new look with Michael Grejniec's citrus-colored artwork, rendered in thick brushstrokes. Various animals ask a white kangaroo what it has put in its pocket each day of the week, in the cumulative rhyming text: on Wednesday, it's ""slurpy glurpy ice cream,"" and on Friday, ""sticky icky molasses."" The frenetic illustrations and typography convey the increasing chaos in the marsupial's pouch. .
