Review

"Edible Colors" showcases a rainbow of photographed fruits and vegetables. Some of them are well known (though they give them very specific names instead of the generic ones: i.e. Jersey blueberries instead of just blueberries) and some of them will be mysteries to kids and adults alike. While this book is a good idea, in theory, they've really stretched on some of the colors and included some items that while they may exist, are not something available in most communities in this country. So while this book may encourage kids to try some new fruits or veggies, you probably won't be able to find them to do that.

Overall Book Score: good
