This is a book about "eating the rainbow." There are many foods of different colors. This will help kids feel that eating more fruits and vegetables is more fun.

Hmmm… An advert for the idea of eating a rainbow of food each day, this is still pretty specific to its Filipino origins, and not for everyone. It might encourage junior readers to think about the colours of their food, but I couldn't see myself as having been a youngster likely to be persuaded by its mindset.

Netgalley ARC - while the illustrations are sweet and some of the spreads are lovely, I think kids may not be engaged by the text. It could have played more with sensory aspects for sure.

A nice and colorful book. It does relate the colors to foods that color however I feel like some of the edible items it mentions like Hibiscus and purple yams are a bit to obscure for kids to be able to use as a source of reference in most communities. The foods definitely skew more tropical, but still a fun read. Also just the use of yams for purple I think may be confusing to many kids as most yams they encounter are Brown (outside) or orange (inside). It isn't explained on the page that it is a certain kind of yam called a purple yam, only explained at the end of the book in the appendices.

Thank you for the ARC. This book was educational but not what I expected. The pictures were just ok. Nothing special or vibrant. I could see how this would be educational about eating fruits and veggies though.

A cute primer for children learning about colors first published in the Philippines. I enjoyed the watercolor-esque illustrations.

I liked how this book made eating/trying fruits and vegetables a fun endeavor! This could be helpful in trying to get young children to eat their veggies! Especially because the illustrations were so bright and fun.

I also liked the end where it discussed different fruits/veggies and how to eat them as a family.
