This
book has truly gone too far. First, it inspires kids to read it aloud.
Then, it makes them laugh and sing, and to top it all, it whets their
appetite for veggies. How about that! And even though it encourages
healthy eating habits, this yummy book is not "preachy" but fun. Six fascinating folk tales with vibrant illustrations are set to take children to a magical world, with unforgettable characters. Talking vegetables, a hungry dinosaur, fairies, giants and a cabbage-loving emperor are ready to delight early readers with their adventures in the wild. Each story includes rhymes, entertaining sounds and concludes with a short poem. One of these stories is also interactive: children can choose the proper ending. The book contains a coloring page and a tricksy game where readers have to discover characters hidden in other stories, as well as cleverly disguised vegetables. The artwork is exciting and unique, featuring mushroom houses, clouds made of cauliflower, broccoli forests or asparagus fences.
All of these elements are masterfully mixed since the writer is also a teacher, a food artist, an organic gardener, and a parent. This rich and fulfilling collection of stories encourages healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. And you know what the best part is? It's fun, and children adore it.
Try it and see for yourself!

REVIEW
This book written by children's author, Lil L. Alexander is lovely illustrated by Anda Cofaru. The book is an educating children's book that has 6 short stories that introduces children to the healthy, yummy world of veggies. The book will make those little minds work and stir up those appetites.
There are adventures with characters such as Peachy Pea, Cheekerchuck the Dinosaur, the Three Garden Fairies. At the end of the stories are lessons to be learned. The author did a very nice job of showing children how vegetables are so important in their diet. The book isn't written just for little children but older children also. The lessons presented are important ones that need to be reminded of often. The illustrator, Anda Cofaru has made some wonderful pictures that are colorful and interesting. Each page will present some detail from some other page that the reader may have missed. The book is very colorful and interesting, with a page near the back for coloring. It is also educating about healthy diets. Make sure you read the note from the author right above this review. A wonderful and educating book with lessons on healthy eating. Every child should have this book on their shelf to be read over and over again. I hope this author is working on her next wonderful book.
I was given a complimentary copy of YUMMY STORIES from the author, Lil L. Alexander for my view of the book.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
