Fresh Delicious - Couverture rigide

"A collection of lively poems celebrate edible delights from the farmers market.... Written mostly in free verse, clever poems show farmers market produce in a new light.... Moriuchi's colorful collages pair perfectly with Latham's poems.... This poetry collection will inspire readers to rush to the farmers market to compare Latham's images with their real-life counterparts. Kid-friendly recipes are also included at the end of the book. Whimsical poems will inspire readers to play with their fruits and vegetables." -Kirkus Reviews

"As bright and colorful as the fresh food it celebrates, this picture book features 21 poems (including one on the back cover), six healthy snack recipes, and Moriuchi's lively illustrations.... Latham lets the food items dictate the form and feeling of each poem...." -Booklist

"Regardless of the season, readers can get a taste of the fruits and vegetables available at the height of summer in 21 appetizing poems.... Half a dozen recipes cap off a lighthearted celebration of food at peak freshness." -Publishers Weekly

"A collection of poetry that features a variety of foods found at the farmers market.... The bright, pleasant illustrations, which feature cut-paper animals, work well to enhance the atmosphere and convey the actions of the verse." -School Library Journal
