Vegetable Soup: The Nutritional ABC’s and The Fruit Bowl: A Contest Among the Fruit, co-authored by Dianne Warren and Susan Jones (a former early childhood and elementary school teacher--UCLA Teaching Credential), is two picture books-in-one, teaching nutrition for young children. Via beautiful four-color illustrations and rhyming verse, the text introduces children to the connection between what they eat and how they look, feel, and perform. In addition to teaching about fresh whole foods — how they grow and why they are good — the book helps develop math and reading skills as the child becomes an active participant in the reading process. This “we are what we eat” book is a perfect way to set children up for lifelong healthy eating habits
