Get Your Youngsters To Love Their Vegetables

By FREYA HOOPER (Star Patcher)

What could be better than vegetables in underwear? Well maybe a great glass of red wine and some smelly cheese, but I digress! I mean what could be better than vegetables in underwear in a kid’s book? Well darn if I know! So luckily for us they both play center stage in this new picture book.

Title: Vegetable In Underwear

Author: Jared Chapman

Target: Preschool - Kindergarten

What this book is about:
Broccoli leads us on an underwear tutorial. We learn about clean and dirty underwear, old and new underwear and serious and funny underwear. We wear it all seven days of the week, Monday through Sunday and we must remember to put our clothes on top, Of course babies wear diapers, but the rest of us enjoy our undies, briefs, or shall we say drawers!

Why I love this book:
First off an eggplant in his skivvies is just funny no matter how you slice it! What a silly way to teach kids opposites, and the days of the week to boot. Also showing the babies in their diapers, will encourage any kid to move up to big kid underwear!

I love the endpaper in the book. At the beginning we see all the veggies in their clothes and at the back of the book we see them all in their perfect undies, although our babies are still smarting a little from having to wear diapers.

Who this book is for:
Great for kids who love to giggles and who have fun learning.

Final thoughts:
This book may even get kids to like their vegetables. Broccoli will never be intimidating again - just picture him in his underwear!

About Freya Hooper:

I am a mom of three with a passion for literature! No matter what book series our kids devour, as they come to an end, we as parents ask the inevitable question - what is next? I am ever on the job, trying to answer that question. I try to do it with a variety of books. Some are silly, some true to life, some pure fantasy, but in the end I hope they make my children love words, explore new ideas, and laugh!
