The award-winning author tells what lucky children all over the state eat, giving each dish's significance later in a "word menu." Did you know that only Kentucky has a tradition of serving Derby Pie on Kentucky Derby Day or that it is the only state that offers Rolled Oysters? A different treat is presented for each day of the week, allowing young readers a seven-day trip for their taste buds. Librarian's View Syndetics Unbound Displaying 1 of 1
