Featuring a foreword by Phyllis Diller, That's NOT A Pickle! Part 7 is the latest volume in the delightful, rhyming softcover Pickle picturebook series, ideal for readers and listeners ages 5 and up. Do YOU know where True Beauty grows? True Beauty doesn't grow on trees. It doesn't grow in cornfields. It doesn't grow in flower gardens. And it doesn't grow on faces. True Beauty grows deep inside the heart until it blossoms, then shines and brightens the world around us. Frank and his sister Alice decide to host a local beauty contest (with a $10 entrance fee), and Frank is the judge. But the pretty and talented contestants are somewhat self-absorbed, compared to "ugly" Ms. Dilless the frog. Frank observes Ms. Dilless giving free swimming lessons to a group of tadpoles. She tells Frank, "They owe me nothing, my lessons are free. And I enjoy it so much, so why should they pay me?" Frank has found True Beauty! That's NOT A Pickle! Part 7 is a stand-alone story that will delight and entertain children AND adults of all ages. And you'll enjoy the charming, full-color illustrations by 16-year-old Josie Shipman throughout the book.
