Rah, Rah, Radishes!: A Vegetable Chant (Classic Board Books)

We are vegetarians and although my kids are usually pretty good about eating veggies they do get into ruts - heck even I get in a veggie rut. A friend of mine got this out at the library and shared on FB the load of veggies her kids picked out after reading the story - they were so excited about new veggies. There they were eating artichokes, peeling purple carrots and chowing down on brussel sprouts. So I figured we had to have this book too!The pictures are beautiful and vibrant - a lot are taken at various farm stands and markets so you get a glimpse of other veggies that may not be mentioned on that particular page which is fine with me - it peaks the kids interest. My kids really enjoyed seeing how brussel sprouts grow on giant stalks and look like trees. We made a game out of matching the names of the squash to their counterpart. And at the site of the little green tomatoes growing on the vine my daughter yelled "We need to check our tomato plants!" (although we probably won't find much on them in November!). The chant is super cute and fun to read. I liked this story so much I ordered a copy of this one and the fruit chant for our Montessori school - I know it'll be a favorite there too. Kudos to this author for finding a way to get kids excited about veggies!

My husband told me to get the hardcover for our long term family collection but for baby (her favorite book) I couldn't resist this baby board book! I appreciate that the edges were rounded, not sharp. I have my own little tune I 'sing' this to baby with and it aids in getting her happy to read this with me! It rhyme's as it takes you along a series of various photographed market vegetables (even introducing me to some new ones!) encouraging youngsters to give them all a try. Perfectly thought out!

This was a featured book at our daycare and we bought it after thumbing through it at school. Marvelous, gorgeous full color photographs that REALLY show what raw veggies look like. Text calls them out by name and is very sophisticated for a children's book. My son likes this book a lot and especially loves to point out the veggies he likes and does not like. A great primer for incorporating veggies into your life to lay the groundwork for healthier eating. Good quality book.

This is a colorful and healthy classic that will have your kid going crazy for carrots

Got this for a baby shower gift. The mom loves nutrition and thought this book was great!

As a veggie-hating, book-loving child, l think my attitude towards healthy eating would have drastically different had I read RAH RAH RADISHES! April Pulley Sayre'scatchy chant promoting the joys of vegetables is fun, educational and never preachy. Along with her light-hearted approach to the gifts of Mother Earth, Sayre's beautiful photography turn the produce section into a jewelry display of edible delights. RAH, RAH, RADISHES is a terrific antidote for all the "yummy"-but-not-so-good-for-you food that is so predominate in the U.S. I hope someone sends a copy of RADISHES to the First Gardener herself, First Lady Michelle Obama.

I love the concept of this book and it is sturdy enough for a baby, but aesthetically I wanted it to look a little more fine tuned. That said it is great for introducing babies to all the veggies and, in the case where I gifted it, my American friend's Rwandian husband to them too. :)

Great rhyme and rhythm, although the jalapeno part is a little awkward. Fun for the kids the hear and the adults to read

This was great to teach my class of 5 year olds about healthy food.

Great book! My toddler wants to read it again and again.

Cute, fun and great for toddlers.
