A whimsical chef introduces a diverse group of young children to fun food experiences that stir up their interest in fruits and vegetables. Join them as they pick from the garden, prepare in the kitchen, relax by the shore, and discover all of the different ways to eat healthy food. The chef wants the children to try something new, and they just might, before he’s through. Easy rhymes and repetitive verses are combined with 32 pages of deliciously colorful pastel illustrations.

With each page turn, the chef exposes children to new and wonderfully colorful fruits and vegetables. Introduce children to the tools seen in the book: thermometer, knife, juicer, spoons, ladle, peeler, whisk, spatula, and skewer. The phrase, "You might just want to try something NEW!" is a constant theme throughout that children want to quote. STEM extensions are available under this title at AbridgeClub.com

----------- The point of the book is... if children don't like raw vegetables, they can try them prepared in different ways: steamed, blended in a smoothie, boiled, grilled, raw and dipped in a dressing, frozen, stir-fried, etc. The book encourages children to try vegetables in different ways because they might discover they like them.
