This book is such fun and the pictures are neat too. A bright colorful book of collaged fruits and vegetables. In it, Cookie Monster gets introduced to vegetables. At first, he thinks a carrot is an orange pencil, a stalk of celery is a feather duster, a squash is a telephone that doesn't work, and so on. Fortunately, Bert and Ernie come along and set him straight, and they all make vegetable soup together.
