Kids will find a variety fruits and vegetables, and a tasty, kid-friendly recipe for each one to start a lifetime of good eating. A ""food for thought"" section presents interesting facts about each fruit and vegetable, and a ""how does your garden grow?"" section explains facts about gardening and the parts of plants.
