Editorial Reviews

"My Vegetable Adventures and My Fruit Adventures are a positive and fun approach to sensory evaluation of foods previously unknown to your child's palate. Getting all of the senses involved in a hands-on approach can take what could be a difficult experience (getting your kids to eat vegetables) to an eye-opening discovery of new found favorites. I found the descriptive word chart to be an outstanding way to allow kids to share multi-dimensional impressions of vegetables they may not be familiar with and perhaps even a little apprehensive to try. At a time where it's so easy for children to develop negative relationships with foods, this workbook allows for exploration in a safe space where it's ok to not like every food you try. Despite that, your kids will still have a fun experience learning about how something tastes, smells, or feels. And the grown-ups might learn a little something too!"
