Overview

Learning the alphabet and how to be healthy has never been more exciting! On the heels of his popular Painting With... series comes Joshua James Cole's newest offering, an alphabet book series that introduces important early learning concepts. In the debut book, Broccoli Doesn't Bite, each letter of the alphabet is presented through an interesting message of alliteration that also teaches various vegetables, both common and rare. Each vibrant spread features a vegetable character starting with a certain letter that also introduces an action word of the same letter, performed by the character. The text introducing E declares, ""Edamame can't enchant,"" and goes on to feature three young wizard-ly looking soybeans casting out the words, ""Expecto potatoes!"" While on the letter ""P"" page, it is revealed that ""Parsnips don't perform,"" supported by a groovy parsnip behind a microphone, rocking cool shades and a gold tooth. The youngest readers will be aided by their alphabet learning and pronunciation through the alliteration, while older readers will enjoy identifying diverse vegetables and their silly antics. A glossary at the back of the book explains the words reviewed in the book while a notes section discusses the origins of the familiar parodies used throughout the book.
