Broccoli's Big Day! by Sandra de la Prada, Mike Henson

Children and veggies are usually not very good friends. There are kids who don't even know the name of the various vegetables, let alone eat them. This funny picture book aims to change that. The visual world is playful and full of colours, the copy is creative, while the entire book is informative and introduces the kids to lots of cool vegetables.

Strongly recommended to picky eaters - children and their parents alike.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group / Frances Lincoln Children's Books for an Advance Review Copy.

This was a super fun story. A bunch of vegetables are getting together to figure out who was the greatest vegetable of the year. Broccoli totally thinks it’s not going to be them. They’ve not done anything exciting but just the trip from home to the event is exciting on its own. And it’s definitely agreed upon when we meet the other vegetables. I think one of my favorite things is the Aubergine (eggplant) because I’ve never seen a kids book mention that vegetable. I loved it all! It’s great fun and would make a really fun puppet show.
