Like the other book I've read by this pair, it was illustrated using food and what I can only assume are craft scissors. Unlike the othe book that I read by them, this was tol in rhyming verse and was all about travel as opposed to dogs. In either case, the illustrations are really well done and the book is worth a look just to see what they can do with food these days. (

Super cute, kids get to guess what everything is made out of. Simple rhyming text, guessing the veggies was super fun. (

Kindergarten students find this extremely humorous. One student
told me he had seen the characters in the book on TV (maybe he saw veggie tales?) There is a poem inside the cover of the book that can be read before starting the book. I read it through pretty quickly, then went back and asked students to identify the veggies.

Freymann's clever vegetable sculptures delight the eye and tickle the funny bone.

I love this book! all sort of transportation, all made out of fruits and vegetables. The bus is great and so is the wheelchair.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 043911019X, Hardcover)

Fruits and vegetables leap off the plate and off the page in Saxton Freymann's fast-paced tribute to things that GO!

When you see piles of veggies lying sedately around the corner store, you'd never guess all that produce really wants to go, go, GO! But Saxton Freymann did, and he's transformed those basking berries and lazy legumes into vehicles of every size and speed. Kids everywhere will thrill over the array of transportation methods on display, from enormous rockets and grand ocean liners to the simplest mechanism of all: your feet. And as always, Freymann's clever vegetable sculptures delight the eye and tickle the funny bone. Hurry up and grab some FAST FOOD!
