Baby-Toddler—"A is for Avocado. Bet you thought I'd say apple! Both are fruit because they grow on trees." And so begins the mouth-watering abecedarian that highlights nature's juicy and delectable Fruits. From asparagus to zucchini, the greens get the ABC treatment in the Vegetable entry. Both offerings feature smiling subjects rendered with paint, runny ink, colored pencil, and digital art. The humor mostly hits the mark, and the vivid illustrations just might convert picky eaters.—Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal
