5 bright shiny
apples for this gem of a book!
If you’ve got yourself a picky eater at home, No Ordinary Apple is a definite read.
First, let’s start out by meeting Elliott, a handsome
young boy who desires an afternoon snack after a long, ordinary day at school.
He’s appalled when offered an apple as a snack, he’d prefer, as most children
probably would, some sugary sweet junk good.
“An apple? Don’t you have any candy?”
From there, we follow little Elliot on a tasty journey
where he discovers there is more to that ordinary apple than meets the eye, and
ear, and nose, and mouth.
No Ordinary Apple
is more than just a book about eating mindfully; it’s a book about engaging
one’s sense’s when eating food, trying new foods, or giving foods that was once
deemed unlikable another chance.
This book is brightly illustrated with lively pictures
and vibrant colors. The cover drew me in immediately. The illustrations are so
interesting that you readers will likely stay on a page to admire the handiwork
of Mr. Pascuzzo long after reading the text. And while this book is meant for
children 4 and up, younger children can easily appreciate the story and
graphics as well.
I love it, I think this will be great for Gigi, ( especially since she already love apples). The cover is very eye catching and what a great message. Thank for linking it into the Kid Lit Blog hop, hooray we made 100 links. Cheers Julie Grasso
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a book! I'm sure lots of parents would like this one - I'm not sure I've met a parent who's said, "My kid will eat anything". They are definitely a rare breed! lol Thanks for linking into the Kid Lit Blog Hop. :)
