Author Liora Houbara states that the purpose of the book is to teach babies to associate colors with pictures of healthy foods shown in the book - in this case, fruits. The book emphasizes the importance of eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and to make sure to eat five different colors a day. The colors used are red, orange, green, purple, blue, yellow, and white. The format is very simple. On one page, a color is shown and spelled, followed on the next page with a picture of a fruit of that color. For example: Yellow ~ Banana, Red ~ Strawberry.I've seen this approach to nutrition education before, and I think that it's a valid method that's appropriate for the preschool youngsters it's intended for. The author has done an especially good job of simplifying a subject as complex as nutrition is, and making it understandable for toddlers.
