Children might discover that they like raw versus cooked carrots, apple sauce versus sliced apples, soft celery in soup versus crisp, crunchy celery sticks, grilled onions versus raw, whole fruit versus blended, and so forth. Taste buds are always changing, so wouldn't it be terrific if children could be convinced to taste the same food cooked a different way and try food multiple times?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy rhymes and repetitive verses are combined with deliciously colorful pastel illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e32 pages Size: 8.5\" H x 8.5\" W Available in English and Spanish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the nutrition aspect of this book, there is a STEM component that is well worth sharing.
