Oliver's Fruit Salad (Venture-Health & the Human Body)
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Oliver enjoys helping his grandfather grow and pick fruit from the garden, but even though he sings the praises of the bountiful produce, he won't eat any of it. Puzzled, his mother just smiles and keeps on trying to entice him to taste fruit, not just talk about it. That is until Grandpa comes to visit and enlists Oliver's aid in making a big, colorful fruit salad; it is so irresistible that the boy consumes three bowls full. Acrylic illustrations are bold, bright, and full of childlike appeal. A suitable selection for finicky eaters.Pamela K.
