Here"s a great way to convince the 2- to 5-year olds that lots of kids do appreciate vegetables, fruit, and good manners! Well, perhaps that"s not the noblest reason for nabbing this visual fiesta of food; perhaps the educational benefits should be a primary motivator. OK, then dish this up: this volume of the award-winning Baby"s First Impressions series offers a charismatic study of about five dozen foods--their tastes, colors, textures, and uses. Granted, some kids may never consent to even touching a few of the produce items shown here (ever see a cherimoya?) but their curiosity is guaranteed to be piqued. A friendly narrating voice introduces each item and offers informative tidbits about each. Accompanying scenes might show how the food is harvested, used as an ingredient (like cherries in a pie), or enjoyed by happy-faced kiddos. A cute section titled "Fun Foods" (including animal crackers and pizza) helps bridge the gap between fruits and veggies. But most appreciated is the section dedicated to proper table manners. Lighthearted and completely engaging, this 32-minute volume ranks high among its nine predecessors. --Liane Thomas
