Publisher Synopsis
"The infectiously joyful cadence of the chants and the enticingly photographed fruits and vegetables guarantee bouncing and clapping along with probably demands for repeated readings (and possibly trips to the nearest farmer's market). While featuring the ubiquitous (carrots, corn, apples), Sayre's paeans to produce also capture the deliciously unfamiliar (kohlrabi, rambutan, mangosteen), and might be the first step to children's healthy eating." * School Library Journal, December 2012 * "Use this text with a unit on nutrition or gardening, or before a field trip to the market. It is a great addition to a preschool or primary grade collection." --Library Media Connection, November/December 2011 "A call to farms...the brilliant colors and inviting textures might just tempt a few picky eaters."--Publishers Weekly "Makes produce seem downright fun...Families could read this together before or after a trip to the grocery store or farmers' market; teachers and librarians could feature it on Earth Day or any time resources are needed about food, health, or plants. A good, sturdy, health-conscious choice."--Booklist * "Sayre's catchy, rhyming verse has an infectious rhythm that begs to be read aloud...With its upbeat, easy-to-digest text and large, clear images, this book will become a go-to choice in spring-themed preschool storytimes and early elementary health or environmental units."--School Library Journal, starred review * "Let's hear it for the veggies! This cheerful chant pairs pithy couplets with the author's photographs of farmer's market beauties...A winning recipe blending crispy verse and fresh photography."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Read more...
