The first book in the Smartee Plate series teaches the importance of eating a variety of fruits AND vegetables, while introducing vocabulary such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Meet Theodora (Teddy) Rose, an “almost-six-years-old” girl who loves to garden but hates eating the vegetables she grows. Broccoli? Yuck. Asparagus? Double yuck! Brussels sprouts? No way! Teddy absolutely, no two ways about it, dislikes eating vegetables! But when she stumbles upon a band of fruits and veggies rocking out in her garden, she’s in for a delicious adventure.
