Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Amelia ★★★★★

The fruit-and-vegetable comparisons are so clever, and the lyrical writing makes it a joy to read aloud every night. My son might not understand the biology yet, but he loves pointing at the "blueberry" and "watermelon" pages while I trace the shapes.

Ryan R. ★★★★★

I read this with my 2-year-old and she loves pointing to the "little grape" stage on each page. The hardback binding feels sturdy enough for repeated bedtime readings.

Jason ★★★★★

The month-by-month fruit-and-veg comparisons made it so easy to explain to my older kid what was happening with the baby. The hardback feels sturdy enough for many bedtime rereads, and the lyrical writing genuinely choked me up a few times.
