This kids book is exactly what the title says it is, a book called All About Vegetables. I love all of the bright, bold colors of the pages and covers of this book. It is eye catching and really makes the pictures pop out. The author, Vic Parker, answers the question; what are vegetables and where they are grown. He goes on to talk about how we eat vegetables and why our bodies need them.
There are some really great kid friendly sidebars that include suggestions for certain vegetables and even the occasional recipe. There are vegetable facts such as which vegetable is good for your brain, which one for your eyesight and even which vegetables are good for your heart. There is information about how many fruits or vegetables people should eat to stay healthy.
This book may even inspire some young readers to want to grow some of their own vegetables in a garden. The pictures really help to explain the process. I highly recommend this book for ages 4-10 years of age. It was well done.

For Hannah Montana fans this book, Hannah Montana The Movie Secret Crush is going to be a treat. It basically details the movie that Miley Cyrus made last year. It tells the story of Hannah/Miley who lives a double life as a regular country girl from Tennessee who makes in big as a pop star and who now lives in California. However, she gets so caught up in her pop star life that she begins to loose sight of who she is on the inside by neglecting her friends and family and being content to live her life on the surface of glamour and media attention.
Hannah realizes that she needs to reconnect with herself and her life before the life of a popstar, and that includes her horse Blue Jeans, her grandmother, her town and her other friends and family.
There are some really great pictures from the movie. The story reminds Miley/Hannah of who she is and that her friends, family and new boyfriend are what is really important to her as a person. It is a good value to instill in the young tween and pre-teen readers who will find this book appealing. The book was published in 2009 by Disney Press. It was adapted by Kate Egan and based on the screenplay written by Dan Berendsen.
