Eating different coloured produce delivers a good range of different nutrients and benefits. Get your kids on board (heh) with this new book.
Are You Eating Something Red?
by Ryan Sias
Price: $10
Audience: 0-4 years
Available: www.amazon.ca
Why it's sweet:
This book not only teaches kids about fruits and veggies, but pairs it with teaching colours for all-around goodness. Each page shows a nice handful of yummy produce of one colour, and asks children what they would choose. Greenie (that little apple on the front cover) chooses one for himself, too, and enjoys it. Simple and effective, just as a board book should be.
Upping the awesome quotient: The accompanying book of paper placemats with a colouring page on the back. Look for Are You Eating Something Green? to take the learning on the road and keep down the mess at the same time.
