Eating the Alphabet

by Lois Ehlert

For ages 1+ years

Sometimes we all need inspiration on what else E could be for instead of elephants. Now you know - eggplant, silly. And K is for kiwi and kumquat and T is for turnip, of course. And we think there is no better way to get your tiny ones to love vegetables than to watch them squeal with glee when they turn the page that says B is for broccoli and beets and beans! Hooray! The illustrations are watercolors that are so gorgeous that they are literally mouthwatering. The mere sight of Ms. Ehlert's watermelon brightens up a January day for all of us. And using this wonderful little book to teach the alphabet as you push the young ones through the produce aisle or the local farmers' market sounds like a perfectly fresh idea to us.

$17.00
$12.75

I love picking up this book from time to time, as I'm a dedicated locavore and it always stretches my horizons (and helps the kids learn about new and interesting vegetables we can look for at the farmer's market). Nothing makes a foodie mama happy like seeing your three-year-old determinedly point out the eggplant and kiwis and have your one-year-old excitedly point to the broccoli!

For a child who loves food, and especially fruits and veggies, this book was perfect for our family. We keep it in the car and my son will say "P is for.." and we discuss all the fruits and veggies that start with P (and use this as a springboard to talk about other words that start with each letter). My son is not a big fan of car rides still, so it's been a lifesaver to have such a great book like this to keep him occupied.
