What’s not to love? Adorable kids and cuddly animals eat their favorite, super-healthy foods—and teach readers about colors along the way. What role modeling! What savory, crunchy deliciousness! What yummy learning opportunities!...A treat for eyes and palates. Kids will want to return to this and eat healthy, too.”<strong>—</strong><strong><em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p> <p>“Wittingham’s rhyming verse falls into an easy, enjoyable, and repetitive reading pattern that lends itself to an interactive story hour....A diverse group of children next to a variety of animals all enjoying vibrant fruits and vegetables illustrates how humans and animals eat many of the same foods; simultaneously, the pages introduce colors and wholesome eating. A playful concept book that will have toddlers and preschoolers reaching for fruits and vegetables.”<strong>—</strong><strong><em>School Library Journal</em></strong> </p> <p>“Uber-cutie....shows how animals and young children enjoy the same food.
