Review

This sturdy boardbook is fascinating. It deals with colors and vegetables. Not only will little ones learn and review their colors, but they will learn of very unusual vegetables and the unbelievable colors of many. Cucumbers are green, they are also yellow. A rainier cherry and Anne yellow raspberries are also yellow. Corn is yellow but is also blue. There is a Queensland blue pumpkin, also, as well as a blue hubbard squash. The illustrations are absolutely delicious and use a lot of white space, making each vegetable really stand out. This is a very unique offering and one that even adults will learn from. Consider this for your boardbook collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
