Eating the Alphabet

An alphabet journey through fruits and vegetables from around the world, pairing every letter — upper and lowercase — with foods like apricots, artichokes, yams, and zucchini.

For the kid who wants to touch, name, and taste everything on the page, this turns the alphabet into a produce aisle worth exploring letter by letter.

• Curiosity: Is there a fruit or vegetable in the book you've never seen — what do you think it tastes like?
• Imagination: If you made your own alphabet of foods, what would you pick for the letter in your name?
