Book In Review

        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.
