One Cool Watermelon

by Hannah Tofts

Kids can count their way to healthy eating with this delicious introduction to math through familiar fruits and vegetables. A variety of discussion subjects are introduced, including identifying favorite foods, investigating taste differences such as sweet and hot, examining textures such as smooth and sticky, and comparing the differences in the size of the items as well as their colors. A playful and interactive layout allows the reader to open flaps and view the inside of each fruit or vegetable.

Bright layouts for photographs of food made this a great follow up to Lauren Child's "I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato". The pre-schoolers attending library story time enjoyed naming the foods and answering questions such as "do we need to peel this before we eat it?" or "can we eat the peel of this food?" or "who likes _________?"

very basic.

Super bright photography of fruits, inside and out, make it impossible to read this book without a watermelon craving.
