What Parents and Professionals Are Saying
beansCharney and Goldbeck’s wonderful book of poems and activities will appeal to children as they move through elementary school, exploring food and farming using the alphabet to establish their place in history, geography, art, literature, science, the kitchen, and let us not forget jokes and riddles! Even adults will laugh and learn at least a fact or two – and maybe each of us (young and old) will find an interest in trying something new!

romain lettuceA simple and beautifully illustrated new book by Steve Charney and David Goldbeck, “The ABCs of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond,” is one good way to interest youngsters in these most nutritious foods, which are readily available, and tastier, in the summer.... The goal is to familiarize children with foods that are good for them.

What a terrific way to learn about fruits and veggies! This book is really two in one. The first part, the ABC’s, is made up of a combination of clever poetry by Steve Charney, and funny illustrations. Part two,... again goes through the alphabet, but in much more detail. Co-author and best-selling food writer David Goldbeck has really done is homework. Offering recipes, jokes and fun facts along the way, the book is delightful all the way around.
