Eating the Alphabet

This book is great for infants on up! It is bright and introduces fruits and vegetables not always encountered in baby food. Our toddler is now learning her alphabet and it is perfect! It also has given her ideas of new things to try.

My son will read just about anything. He devours books. But not this book. This is probably the only book on our bookshelf that has never requested we look at or read. This book has no text, just watercolor paintings of the fruits and veggies. But the images are not all that easy to differeniate from one another. If, like an infant, you had not yet experienced this produce, I think that you would be unlikely to link the pictures in the book with the real thing in the grocery store or garden. I was disappointed with this book, as is my son, apparently.

This book gave me the idea of calling fruits and vegetables "pretty food" to my grandchildren. It is full of beautiful art, and we pretend to choose our favorites and eat them. My 3 and 4 year old like this really well, and it is a sturdy little beautiful book.

Love this book - the pictures and words are terrific and helps talk about fruits and veggies in an appealing way - and makes grocery shopping with little ones more fun. What can you identify in the produce section?

no one could believe our two year old knew what a zucchini or kiwi was by sight! and the 'ugly fruit' is a favorite in our house. great book for introducing a picky eater to different fruits and veggies. wish it was a bigger book... but it is good for small hands to hold.
