This review is from: Veggie Friends and Fruits Too: A Children's Cookbook on Creating Healthy Snacks (Paperback)

I like to make my child's plate of food look exciting hoping to entice him to eat more fruits and vegetables, but my creativity ends with broccoli forests and ants on a log. I was thrilled to find Veggie Friends and Fruits Too!: A Children's Cookbook on Creating Healthy Snacks by Anne Legge. Ms. Legg is so creative with fruits and veggies. There are recipes and drawings of fruits and veggies cut up and arranged to look like various animals. For example there are instructions on how to turn a yellow pepper, green pepper, and a couple of olives into a beautiful butterfly. The pictures and text show exactly how to cut and arrange each animal taking the guess work out of the equation. Children are sure to enjoy making and eating these fun food creations.

This review is from: Veggie Friends and Fruits Too: A Children's Cookbook on Creating Healthy Snacks (Paperback)

I bought this book because I have two little girls that don't like to eat vegetables but what I got in return was a big disappointment. I thought that I was going to get a book with pictures of real food (fruits and vegetables) with different creative designs but all the pictures are drawings that look like a 6 year old made them. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, you can get better information online for free, don't waste your money in this book.
