FRUIT for young readers

Part of the "On Your Plate" series, this large-print, easy-reader text introduces readers to oranges, melons, pears, pineapples, bananas, peaches, grapes and strawberries. Each book in the series includes all-color pictures with one or two sentences of accompanying text and a smaller print sentence of additional text, like a Powerpoint presentation turned into a book. Throughout the series, the term healthy is misused (things are healthful, people are healthy, according to my usage guides). While the apple is shown with a tree, oranges are not. Melons have no mention of how they grow but placed between oranges and pears, kids might logically assume they grow on trees too. Kids might have liked to see how pineapples grow, but they are shown on a white background with a section of the fruit cut open, while grapes are shown on a vine; peaches are similarly shown already sliced. The book ends with a two page Things To Do quiz where readers can test their memory of the text with a matching quiz. Glossary is half a page, index is the remainder of the page. Publisher provided blurb says, "Latch-key kids will also appreciate the number of recipes and meal suggestions included in each volume." There were, however, NO recipes in this volume.
