F is for Fruit

Enjoy a potpourri of fantastic fruit with photographer and storyteller Heather Sisto. The clever rhymes and colorful photos invite both children and adults to try new flavors along with traditional favorites as they explore the ABCs of fruit. This book is a companion to "V is for Vegetable" by the same author-illustrator. Fun for all ages!

This creative approach to the classic ABCs teaches literacy and nutrition by introducing children, parents and teachers to common and exotic fruits from around the world as if they were taking a journey down a produce aisle. The playful rhymes make it an excellent read-aloud, or it can be used a letter at a time by emerging readers. The full-color photographs of each fruit are artistic and appealing, and the author-illustrator ingeniously cut each fruit to form each letter of the alphabet as well. Educational and fun for all ages!
