This brief précis does little to capture the charm of Pop Corn and Ma Goodness, which netted illustrator Robert Andrew Parker a Caldecott Honor in 1970. Edna Mitchell Preston's text is more of a song than a story, with plenty of sounds words - it begins: "Ma Goodness she's coming a-skippitty skoppetty / skippitty skoppetty / skippitty skoppetty" - and a kind of down home feeling that I found very charming. Many reviewers appear to have been put off by it, but I think it would make a good read-aloud, if sung in the right way. The watercolor illustrations from Parker are rather dark, but also lovely. I have encountered his work before, in such titles as The Green Isle and The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: The Iroquois Story of Creation, and although I wouldn't describe it as a personal favorite, it is always engrossing. Here it worked very well with the text, I thought. Recommended to picture-book readers who enjoys somewhat offbeat sing-song stories, as well as to fans of Robert Andrew Parker. ( )
