Oliver's Vegetables

Product Information

I recommend this book to young children as it is a new, funny alternative to approach the subject of healthy eating, and the pictures will allow children to be inspired as a result of it. Continue your discussion of Oliver’s Vegetables by asking why his grandparents wanted him to eat his vegetables?

She has won many awards for her books, and is regularly invited to festivals including Cheltenham and the Edinburgh International Book Festival.From major author Vivian French, this colourful seek-and-find tale puts the joys of healthy eating at the top of the menu. We borrowed it from the library and will be picking up a copy of our own soon as we can't bear to part with it! The discovery process he goes through, trying new vegetables with his grandfather makes for a gentle read with children.

In layman’s terminology, a fruit is something that comes from a plant that is sweet and usually eaten as a dessert or snack.This overall should show children the benefits of trying new foods and the importance of eating a healthy diet. This is the third Oliver book apparently, although the first one I have read, not that it matters with these books.
