Vegetables are glorious but teaching your children and grandchildren about vegetables can be problematic, especially during these uncertain times. Mommy Moo Moo aka Debbie Barbuto comes to the rescue.

Vegetable Chatter is a beautifully-illustration children's book detailing various vegetables and why they're great. From ravishing radishes to Sgt. Pippa's Pickled Beets, this book displays vegetables in a fun, sometimes silly, way. I love the illustrations and the wording. Together, they make vegetables kid-friendly and appealing to young children. Each page has a scene with a vegetable or two and honestly, kids will want to make up stories to go along with each page's illustration.

Why is this a five-star book? Mommy Moo Moo activates a child's imagination with her words and Tom Edwards' illustrations. There's a classic whimsy to Vegetable Chatter that I haven't seen since Louis Sachar. Highly recommend!

Loved the rich, colorful illustrations. To see the veggies come to life on each page, was delightful and will impress young readers. To see the parallels of the vegetables uniting to form a cohesive garden can also be transferred to how people should interact with one another. Look forward to the next book.

Vegetable Chatter introduces garden vegetables to young readers by giving them a literal face and personality. A short and sturdy board book for infants through preschoolers. Full review to follow.
