Overall Rating ☆☆☆☆

Teddy Tries a Veggie, follows Theodora (Teddy) Rose, an “almost-six-years-old” girl who loves to garden but hates eating the vegetables she grows. Broccoli? Yuck. Asparagus? Double yuck! Brussel sprouts? No way! Teddy absolutely, no two ways about it, dislikes eating vegetables! But when she stumbles upon a band of fruits and veggies rocking out in her garden, she’s in for a delicious adventure.

This first e-book in the series conveys the importance of eating a variety of fruits AND vegetables as part of healthy eating and familiarizes kids with terminology such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.

Written by a registered dietitian nutritionist, this innovative e-book offers interactive features to make the experience of reading a Smartee Plate book loads of nourishing fun for little ones!

I really enjoyed this book. It had a great concept and was turned into a cute story. Teddy is a lot like most kids. She does like her fruits but not the veggies. In this book, she learns why it is important to eat the veggies too, so they can work better together. This book takes the hard concept and makes it so easy for the kids to get. I feel like this book can even help adults want to allow all the veggies to work together in their body. The pictures are beautiful and the story is fun. Overall, I give this one four of five stars.
