I Like Vegetables

PreS—This square board book explores both vegetables and opposites over several spreads. For example, one page offers a cross-section of earth with five growing carrots. Adrift over the stems is the word "above," and the word "below" sits beneath them. The opposite page displays three carrots and several slices. A portion of one carrot features a cutout with a coarse paper filling that stands in contrast to the smoothness of the glossy card-stock pages; this technique invites repeated touching. Different materials are used to add tactile elements to the vegetables, such as a plush orange cloth for a part of a pumpkin and glossy raised cardboard on an ear of bumpy corn. An engaging presentation.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
