My Review:
I took this book while doing childcare for my daughter's dance school and the kids thought it was a neat book and super helpful to teach them and other children about healthy eating and some vegetables that they had never even heard of before. My four year old daughter likes this book, and it's fun teaching her the ABC's along with teaching her about healthy food and veggies. The photographs are amazing and very well done.
