5 Minute Review: Surprisingly, Cookie Monster (7) really enjoyed this book. Again, the book is informative and has many helpful pictures.

Definitely, the most fun part was trying to identify each fruit from a picture of its cross section. Cookie Monster found that a lot of fun.

As with the vegetable book, the fruits are mostly Taiwanese and some of them were definitely unfamiliar to Cookie Monster. However, because he already knew many names of fruits, this was a very quick and easy read.

And because it was an easy and quick read with very little strange vocabulary (well, other than one word I had never heard of that you can see in the video), it was very favorably received.

Here is a video of Cookie Monster reading an excerpt from the book. (You can also see how easily I get annoyed. I am truly an impatient teacher. Poor kiddos.)
