Synopsis
A big pot, some heat, and lots of popcorn. . . . When the corn starts popping, the fun gets hopping for a boy, a girl, and their grown-up pals, who tend the stove. But when will the popping stop? Betsy Everitt’s energetic illustrations add bold spice to this lighthearted rhyming recipe for a culinary adventure.

From Kirkus Reviews
This entry in a series for very new readers has few words and clear rhymes: ``Popcorn. Popcorn./Put it in a pot./Popcorn. Popcorn./Get the pot hot.'' In a Fauvist kitchen, a multicolored cast of characterspurple and blue dogs, a fuchsia cat, a boy and a girl (he's African-American; she's Latina) put those kernels in a big kettle. ``Popcorn. Popcorn./Pop! Pop! Pop!/Popcorn. Popcorn./Stop! Stop! Stop!'' The fluffy kernels spill out the door into the green and gold world, where other folk come to get their own bags full. ``Popcorn. Popcorn./Get it while it's hot./We are happy./We like it a lot.'' Children who are just beginning to master the connection of word to object will adore this, and marvel that they can, indeed, read it. (Picture book. 5-9) -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
