Veg Patch Party by Clare Foges & Al Murphy. unpgd. Faber & Faber, October 20, 2020. 9780571352852. (Review courtesy of publisher.)
Heads up if you have a child who won't eat his or her veggies, or will eat them, or just wants to hear a rollicking read aloud. This jaunty story in rhyme invites the reader to a private party once the farmer and the animals hit the hay. That's when the veggies come out to play.
The bright palette zings, the hand-lettering, cross-outs included, jump from the page and the puns and visual humor add to the enjoyment. A catchy, easy-to-learn refrain invites listeners to raucously join in the fun. Veg Patch Party is sure to be a hit among the pre-school group and one adults will have a load of fun reading out loud.
