Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Oliver enjoys helping his grandfather grow and pick fruit from the garden, but even though he sings the praises of the bountiful produce, he won't eat any of it. Puzzled, his mother just smiles and keeps on trying to entice him to taste fruit, not just talk about it. That is until Grandpa comes to visit and enlists Oliver's aid in making a big, colorful fruit salad; it is so irresistible that the boy consumes three bowls full. Acrylic illustrations are bold, bright, and full of childlike appeal. A suitable selection for finicky eaters.

Ages 3^-7. Fussy Oliver, fresh from his appearance in Oliver's Vegetables (1995), has learned there's more to food than French fries, but he's still pretty picky. When his mother offers him canned pears and fruit juice, he can't help but remember the fruit in his grandfather's garden. A trip to the grocery story with Mom seems to be the solution, until droll Oliver admits that what he really liked was helping Grandpa, not eating fruit. Fruit salad, however, which he makes with Mom and his grandparents, turns out to be a different story. The straightforward text is personalized with simple dialogue that should make reading aloud fun, and Bartlett's sturdy, unbordered double-page-spread paintings, in a style so unaffected that it resembles children's own artwork, are a rainbow of fruit colors--strawberry red, lemon yellow, lime green, and more. Great for lap sharing or use with small groups. Stephanie Zvirin
