Cool as a Cucumber
Sally Smallwood
Hardcover
(Zero To Ten, May 1, 2005)
A mixture of art, photography, and large, clear type introduces children to the correlation between textures, tastes, and appearances of fruits and vegetables. Printed on heavy-duty card stock and hand-stitched to ensure maximum longevity, these stunning books go far beyond just naming familiar foods. Each displays a clear photograph of the food against a dramatic painted background. Upon opening the full-page foldout of the fruit or vegetable, kids can distinguish which are hot and spicy, cool and smooth, or sweet and juicy.
