Getting children to taste new fruits and vegetables is an age-old problem. The point of this book is that if children don't like raw vegetables, they may like them steamed, blended, boiled, grilled, dipped, chilled, or stir-fried. They are encouraged to try vegetables in different ways, and in doing so, might discover they like them. The texture and flavor of food changes based on the way it is prepared: raw versus cooked carrots, apple sauce versus sliced apples, soft celery in soup versus crunchy celery sticks, crisp versus soft-cooked zucchini, grilled onions versus raw, whole fruit versus blended, and so forth. Taste buds are always changing and wouldn't it be terrific if we could convince children to try something new every once in a while; taste the same food cooked a different way, or try a food several times?
Includes a companion song, spoken word, and instrumental version on CD when ordered directly from the publisher, or optional song download.
