The ABCs of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond: Delicious Alphabet Poems Plus Food, Facts and Fun for Everyone
By Steve Charney
We all know that we and our kids need to eat more vegetables in order to be healthy, but what do we do when our kids turn up their noses?
And what to WE do when we see strange items in the produce section of our grocery store?
The author of this book believes that the way to overcome resistance to our kids eating fruits and veggies is familiarity. Maybe he’s on to something! This book aims to teach kids a “new attitude” towards produce by telling them stories, jokes, riddles and poems about good eats.
The first part of the book reads like an alphabet book, with one vegetable or fruit for each letter of the alphabet from A to Z. Did you know there is a fruit that begins with the letter X, for example?
The second part is full of fun activities for kids that revolve around produce. For instance, you can make art with potatoes, a card for Grandma with herbs, make invisible ink with lemons. There are even kid friendly recipes for kids to try.
David Goldbeck claims that Americans have a “strange” attitude towards vegetables that we’re unfamiliar with. His book tries to change that attitude so that we don’t pass it on to our kids.
