Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
All too frequently, teachers tell me that colleagues strike alphabet books from their upper-grade library's order list. That's sad, for the best alphabet books are for everyone. For example with Ehlert's book you can share it as 1) a simply beautiful alphabet book, 2) a sampling of edible plants elementary grade youngsters can categorize (i.e. leaf or root, crunchy or slurpy, yellow or green), whose origins can be pinpointed on a map, or whose preparations reflect cultural similarities or differences, 3) a collection of fine watercolor collages, anyone can try, 4) an information book with glossary entries that are models of tightly constructed, information laden, two-to-four sentence paragraphs. 1996 (orig.
Children's Literature
Lois Ehlert's much acclaimed picture book has gone through several reincarnations since its original publication. This latest—a lap-sized board book—is perhaps one of its best. Size itself is the factor. It is large enough so that Ehlert's evocative and colorful renderings of veggies and fruit, from avocado and asparagus to persimmon, pomegranate, and Swiss chard—and yes, even xigua and zucchini—can be properly seen and admired while propped on a parent or child's lap. Of course, it might be a tad heavy for a small toddler to drag around, but the solid-board pages will taste as sweet to any teething baby. The alphabet function is still foremost, and the name of each item pictured is printed in both upper and lower case in large, readable type—giving the truly precocious future gourmet the opportunity to learn the correct spelling for such delicacies as "rutabaga" and "radicchio." This is definitely a win-win book.

    Wonderful book

    My daughter loves this book! She never tires of the vibrant pictures and has learned many of her fruits and veggies through this book.

    Love this book!

    We are trying to ensure our child eats a variety of healthy foods and this book rules. We are planning on making a game of it by cooking something out of the book every day when our child is older and learning about it. Our one year old loves going through the pictures and it has many fruits and vegetables you don't see in most books.

    Is a fruity book

    Eating the Alphabet by Lois Ehlert is an awesome book with very colorful pictures. This is a book about learning your alphabet using fruit and vegetable words. It has a lot of fruit and vegetable words that we almost didn¿t know how to pronounce. Kenyetta and I like this book because it helps children learn their alphabet and we think someone will like this too. It is a good book for kids to read. It is also a good study book if you like to study fruits and vegetables.
