As in his previous books, Flower Power and Veggie Power, Hajek's
whimsical, imaginative paintings-inspired by a variety of artistic
traditions-situate each fruit in a fascinating cultural context.
Each "portrait" features delightful pictorial clues about how the
fruits are grown and consumed. Opposite the illustrations, Annette
Roeder's engaging texts offer illuminating and often surprising
facts from throughout history and contemporary life. As
mouthwatering as a summer peach, and as surprising as a
pomegranate's seeds, this book serves up page after page of
delicious, nutritious, but most of all fun portions of fruity
knowledge from all over the world.

delightful introduction to common vegetables offers a delectable
serving of uncommonly beautiful illustrations and fascinating
information. As in his hugely popular previous book, Flower Power,
Olaf Hajek's wondrously imaginative and detailed portraits are
paired with engaging and eye-opening texts. The book shows how each
vegetable appears in its natural soil habitat, and how it might be
eaten today. Health benefits, historical tidbits, and botanical
oddities are seamlessly woven into each spread. From the first
spring onion, to pumpkins harvested just before the frost, this
inviting journey through the growing season celebrates the
artistic, historical, and culinary bounty that awaits us in the
garden and at the table.
The world's most iconic buildings are made accessible and exciting
for young readers in this colorful introduction to architecture
that changed the world.
Children's fascination with buildings is a natural outgrowth of
their curiosity about anything strange or huge or complex. This
unique book brings together thirteen architectural wonders that
have intrigued children for years. Through activities such as
games, quizzes, drawings and other activities, it teaches them the
history behind each of the buildings, and presents fascinating
facts about the design, historical use, and construction
techniques. This book features pyramids built by men with pulleys,
a tower that leans, an opera house shaped like a sailboat, a museum
built like a spiral, and the most recent example, a "bird's nest"
stadium where the 2008 summer Olympics were held. Each of these
buildings and more are introduced to young readers through lively
texts and illustrations that will serve to heighten their interest
and knowledge about the world's most important architecture, and
perhaps inspire them to dream and build on their own.
