Of course, there are fruits and vegetables in this book you will recognise or might expect, but for a young child there are some that are sure to be new:

pomegranate; orange cherry tomato; starfruit; cacao fruit; feijoa; purple basil; purple eggplant; lychee; guava; fennel and pattypan.  The black page surprised me with black potato; elderberry and vanilla.

I found this book in a library. They record where they purchase each book. This one came from a Sydney store - The Constant Reader. I haven't been able to locate a web page for the publisher Clever Publishing but I did read this about them:

See inside the Big Book of Animals. Here are the other books from this series which I think would be a terrific addition to a preschool or Kindergarten classroom:

Considering the size of these books and the beautiful book design, these books are not expensive. I found all the titles are still available here.
