Summary "Mother Earth's Children: The Frolics of the Fruits and Vegetables" by Elizabeth Gordon is a charming children's book published in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1910s. This illustrated work is a delightful exploration of fruits and vegetables personified as playful characters, presenting a whimsical narrative that introduces young readers to various types of produce through playful interactions and adventures. The book features a series of verses dedicated to the different "children" of Mother Earth, each representing a fruit or vegetable, such as Little Miss Radish, Asparagus, and Watermelon.
