Eating the Alphabet by Lois Ehlert

An alphabetical look at 76 beautifully illustrated fruits and vegetables. A glossary is included at the end of the book which includes pronunciation, history and small picture of the plant.

I loved that the author used unusual vegetables, like kohlrabi and jicama. The bright colors and detailed illustrations just popped off the page.
