'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 )

Customer Reviews

An excellent way of teaching children to eat vegetables.
This is a superb book for all those picky eaters! It teaches children to try new foods and even like them! It also helps teach the days of the week.

great
A little boy who only wants to eat chips is sent into the garden and told he can eat anything he finds! Interesting to see what he tries on his quest to find chips!
Quite an old book but lots of fun.
Unusual pictures.
