Figure descriptions
An adolescent girl sits on a small bench beside a low table. She turns to the left
side of the illustration to face an infant
girl. The adolescent girl holds up one finger toward the infant girl, as if she is
scolding her. The infant girl appears to cry; she
holds one fist up to her eyes and holds the other first behind her back. At the right
side of the illustration, beside the low
table, a dog sits up on its hind legs and begs. The adolescent girl does not pay attention
to the dog. She holds a spoon up next to
a stack of dishes. The illustration title (which is also the poem title) is centered
above the illustrated scene and is curved in a
slight arch. The illustrated caption appears below the illustrated scene. Full page.
