Imagine IF… Veggies
Publisher: Templar Books
Imagine if cucumbers were actually hammocks. Or tiny people lived inside corn cobs. Come on a journey of imagination as you push and pull the tabs of this pleasingly sturdy board book. Vegetables that you see every day can become different and unexpected things if you use your imagination.
This interactive book is bursting with colour and fun. Babies and toddlers will love pushing and pulling the tabs to change the scene on every page. The joy of sliders and tabs is that they can be used again and again. Babies will enjoy turning the pages too. Which vegetable will be next? Aya Watanabe’s artwork is vibrantly colourful and very simple, making it super appealing to young readers. She’s even added an ant to find on each page. The text rhymes, which helps pull you through the book, and means that it’s enjoyable to read aloud. The celebration of creativity and food might even get fussy eaters to try new vegetables!
There is a companion book about fruit too, which is equally irresistible.
