Eating The Alphabet: Fruits & Vegetables from A to Z

A vibrant and sturdy word book starring fruits and vegetables from around the world from Caldecott Honor–winning author-illustrator Lois Ehlert. Features upper- and lowercase letters for preschoolers just learning language.

Each turn of the page reveals a mouth-watering arrangement of foods: Indian corn, jalapeno, jicama, kumquat, kiwifruit, and kohlrabi. Lois Ehlert's lively watercolours paired with bold, easy-to-read type make for a highly appealing and accessible book for parents and children to devour.

At the end of the book, Ehlert provides a detailed glossary that includes pronunciation, botanical information, the origin and history of the particular plant, and occasional mythological references, with a small watercolour picture to remind the reader of what the plant looks like.
