Ginger and the Vegesaurs: Dinner time!

The strongly constructed hand sized board book is an episode in the highly acclaimed and popular ABC series called Ginger and the vegesaurs, which will ensure kids will pick it up. Brightly coloured, with funny images of a variety of fruit and vegetables as the main characters whose story we follow, the book has instant appeal.

The second book in the series: Dinner time, evokes laughter from the cover as two bananas and a carrot peer out at the reader. Again, a dense text means an older person is needed to read it out loud, but the images will keep younger children laughing their heads off as Ginger and the two Pea-Rexes search for a chilli snack.  Unbeknownst to them, they are headed for a collision course with some Bananaraptors.

I love the images of the different fruit and vegetables as dinosaurs, so melding two things that kids love, fruit and veg and dinosaurs.

Great fun, lots to laugh at and a tie in with a beloved TV series will ensure these books are never left on the shelf.
