Surprising Fruits
A playful and interactive discovery of the visual beauty and diversity of nature.
Flaps to lift reveal the fascinating interior of vegetables. Where do these vegetables and fruits grow? What’s inside them? Seeds? Pits? Which parts be eaten? How can they be cooked? How do they taste?
16 surprising vegetables and 16 fruits from all over the world to discover!
On some doublepage spreads, animals provide a sense of scale for the plants.
At the end of the book, a world map helps the readers to locate these vegetables and fruit.
