Convencer a los niños pequeños para que prueben nuevas frutas y verduras es un desafío ancestral, pero podrían descubrir que les gusta la comida cuando se prepara de manera diferente, ya que la textura y el sabor de los alimentos cambian según la forma en que se cocinan. Los niños podrían descubrir que prefieren las zanahorias crudas en lugar de cocidas, el puré de manzana en lugar de las manzanas en rodajas, las cebollas a la parrilla en lugar de crudas, y así sucesivamente. Las papilas gustativas están en constante cambio. Sería fantástico si los niños estuvieran dispuestos a probar la misma comida preparada de diferentes maneras?

Convincing young children to taste new fruits and vegetables is an age-old challenge, but they might discover they like food when it's prepared a different way since the texture and flavor of food changes based on the way it is prepared. Children might discover that they like raw versus cooked carrots, apple sauce versus sliced apples, grilled onions versus raw, and so forth. Taste buds are always changing. Wouldn't it be terrific if children were willing to taste the same food prepared in different ways?

Easy rhymes and repetitive verses are combined with deliciously colorful pastel illustrations.
