Oliver's Vegetables by Vivian French
Do you like chips? Oliver does. In fact, he won't eat anything else - until he plays a game with his grandpa. Whatever vegetable Oliver finds in the garden, he must eat. On Monday, he pulls up carrots, on Tuesday, it is spinach . . . An excellent book for parents with slightly fussy children, which also introduces the days of the week. Other titles in this series: Oliver's Fruit Salad Oliver's MilkshakeBeautifully illustrated * Hullaballoo *
'This is a great book to link with maths as it rehearses the days of the week and the illustrations offer many opportunities for counting and working out how many vegetables.' - Nikki Sheene, year 1 teacher * Child Education *
Encourage children to try a new vegetable, ideally one they have grown themselves, each day for a week * Practical Pre-School *
The ultimate veggie story! * Child Care *
