Publisher's Note Engaging rhymes and bold, exuberant paintings by Caldecott Medalists Leo and Diane Dillon create a delicious question-and-answer book that introduces children to familiar colors, fruits, and shapes. In simple verse, N.N. Charles entices readers to peer through a shaped die-cut before discovering the edible answer with each turn of a page. Full color.
Industry Reviews PreS-Gr 1 This clever book is essentially a guessing game that encourages readers to name the colors, shapes, and types of fruit described in simple riddles and revealed by turning the die-cut pages. Vibrant graphics in photoreal detail show the tempting produce on its respective bush, tree, or vine. Charles ends the lyrical presentation with a reference to the ``rainbow of the human race.'' A multifaceted, beautifully designed book that will serve a variety of needs, and will introduce several different concepts in a unique, entertaining way.
