“tart blue berries, sour purple grapes”
This story would be great to use for learning adjectives.
pickThis was a very interesting read, if a tad repetitive—forgivable in the name of hammering a point home, I guess? The author‘s claims that insulin/sugars are the key to controlling body weight aren‘t entirely new, but he does go further and more in depth than other things I‘ve read. Mostly it‘s common sense, although intermittent fasting is a new thought for me—not sure I could do it, but I might try and see how it goes. A pick? I guess?
pickSuch a wonderful book to listen to about food!

Enjoy!
I would use this as a fun alternative in the classroom to talk to students about our similarities and differences in what we like. Emphasizing the fact that people can enjoy different things and that is OKAY. I would build on students knowledge by asking them to relate to the story with something they like to eat and something they might not want to eat. Sharing our ideas and differences is how we learn best!
pickLittle Pea by Amy Krouse (2005) is a fictional picture book that is humorous to readers. It has a theme of children eating their veggies but in this case, pea hates eating candy. The illustrations are fun, simplistic, and engaging for the readers with pops of green to represent the peas. The ending shows pea enjoying a plate of spinach for dessert and will be sure to make students think about their attitude towards things they like/dislike.
