Goodnight, Veggies, written by Diana Murray and Zachariah OHora, reviewed by Judy Hauser


Summary:
This fun book will be enjoyed by young listeners for the fun, vibrant illustrations of vegetables and the clever text. As the sun sets the veggies get ready to rest, "Turnips tucked in tightly. Potatoes closing eyes. Tuckered-out tomatoes humming lullabies." Young children will have questions about some of the veggies and they will learn about a variety of items and some of their characteristics. They will be able to follow a worm (complete with hat, socks and shoes) through the vegetable patch and observe the various goings-on. This is a very cute story with very cute illustrations. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: Some explanations regarding various vegetables can be discussed. Young children may not be aware of all of the veggies in the story
