Oliver doesn’t eat vegetables or fruits. He makes that fact known. Oliver believes his grandparents grow the best vegetables and fruits in the world. That doesn’t mean that he wants to eat what they grow…not at first, anyway. These bright, colorful books show the magical effect grandparents can have on their grandchildren and their eating preferences. In the end, Oliver agrees that vegetables and fruits can be “yummy.” Discover the secret to encouraging healthy eating habits by reading and then doing similar activities from these books.
