I Can Eat a Rainbow: A Fun Look at Healthy Fruits and Vegetables

This board book is an exuberant appeal to eat colorful fruits and vegetables: “Eating a variety of different colors helps us get all the nutrients we need,” reads Karmel's (The Toddler Cookbook ) note to parents. The rest of the book has kid appeal, with sections organized by color and featuring bright photographs of fruits and veggies, some transformed into animals. The “Blue and purple” pages showcase an elephant made from beets, eggplant and cabbage, while the orange spread offers mango “porcupines,” “zesty kumquats” and a “yummy pumpkin” (“You can eat the seeds, too!”). Enthusiastic without being didactic. Ages 1–6. (Apr.)
