AlbakiReads Editorial

An alphabet of fruits and vegetables

From apple to zucchini, each letter introduces fruits and vegetables, including less familiar examples such as jicama, kumquat, and kohlrabi. Upper- and lowercase letters pair with bold type and watercolor illustrations, giving the book a clear focus on early alphabet recognition alongside food vocabulary. A glossary at the end adds pronunciation, botanical information, and notes on the origins and history of selected plants, with small pictures to help identify them. The combination makes this more than an alphabet list: it also offers young readers and their grown-ups a starting point for exploring the names and variety of produce.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Preschoolers beginning to recognize letters and build vocabulary
  • Families and educators looking for an illustrated alphabet book about fruits and vegetables

Book overview

A vibrant and sturdy word book starring fruits and vegetables from around the world from Caldecott Honor-winning author-illustrator Lois Ehlert. Features upper- and lowercase letters for preschoolers just learning language.

Each turn of the page reveals a mouth-watering arrangement of foods: Indian corn, jalapeno, jicama, kumquat, kiwifruit and kohlrabi. Lois Ehlert's lively watercolors paired with bold easy-to-read type make for a highly appealing and accessible book for parents and children to devour.

At the end of the book, Ehlert provides a detailed glossary that includes pronunciation, botanical information, the origin and history of the particular plant and occasional mythological references, with a small watercolor picture to remind the reader of what the plant looks like.
