ABC Veggies - Heather Blume - Bog

Though it's written with young readers in mind, ABC Veggies is a delectable book for readers of all ages!

Each page reveals high-definition, full-color photos of vegetables from A to Z. The words are written in simple, easy-to-read font, with alliteration and rhyming to help young readers follow along. The author, Heather Blume, is a dietitian with a master's degree in family and consumer sciences.
