I Can Eat A Rainbow

A fun look at healthy fruit and vegetables for pre-schoolers11-02-2009

‘Did you know that sometimes the more colourful a food, the better it is for you? For example a pink grapefruit is better for you than a white grape fruit. But every colour is important – red, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, white and brown – we need them all for a healthy balanced diet.’   Annabel Karmel, MBE
From juicy red apples to bright green broccoli trees, bestselling author and children’s food expert Annabel Karmel has put together a colourful range of healthy, delicious fruit and vegetables, and created fun food characters to go with each colour in her new book I Can Eat A Rainbow.
I Can Eat A Rainbow helps young children identify different foods in a fun and exciting way. With simple, read aloud text and suggestions on how to eat five a day, this book will help preschoolers learn about the importance of eating colourful, healthy food.
Cute fruit and vegetable characters feature throughout on each tabbed, colour themed spread to encourage young children to identify different foods. Big, bold photography and descriptive labels also help them to understand the importance of each different coloured fruit and vegetables.
When your child has finished reading there are also several activities listed in the front section for parents to try out such as showing them how to squeeze oranges, grow their own vegetables, and make fruit lollies and smoothies, along with notes on how to make the most of the book when reading it to your toddler.
