What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This book is a simple and direct vocabulary builder focused on food. There are no narrative elements, characters, or potentially sensitive themes.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a toddler, approximately 18 to 36 months old, who is in a prime vocabulary-building stage. It is also well-suited for a preschooler (ages 3-4) who is a reluctant or picky eater, as it provides a neutral, playful context for discussing different kinds of foods without the pressure of eating them.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. For a more interactive experience, a parent could prepare by having one or two of the fruits or vegetables from the book available for the child to touch, smell, and perhaps taste after seeing it on the page. A parent is likely to seek this book after noticing their child's burgeoning interest in the food they see at the grocery store or on their plate. Another common trigger is the onset of picky eating, prompting the parent to find a tool to make unfamiliar foods seem more friendly and interesting.
