Super Baby Abigail's Lunchtime Adventure:

Written by: Melissa Halas-Liang
Illustrated by: Alexandra Artigas

Super Baby Abigail and her group of friends, the Super Crew™, are hungry for lunch and want the freshest and tastiest ingredients. The Super Crew sneaks in the kitchen to see Abigail and conjure up a magnificent meal from their fruit-and-growing-veggie-machine. The baby-sitter unknowingly listens to music and reads the latest teen magazine thinking Abigail is quietly sleeping. Fun and quite a mess ensue as they build their tower of a sandwich. Their take on cleaning will be a fun trip for anyone's imagination. As the Super Crew departs, you'll be hungry for both a healthy meal and another adventure.

Reviews

"This book beautifully illustrates that children, even from an early age, can be empowered to make healthy food choices, and that preparing wholesome, nutritious foods can be fun. I also loved how Abigail and her friends snuck into the kitchen behind the babysitter's back, not to grab junk food but to build a fruit-and-veggie-growing-machine...genius!"

 "Super Baby Abigail to the rescue and not a moment too soon! Her and her super friends hit the trifecta of health messages that today's parents need to hear: Fruits and veggies rock!; Gardening is a great way to get kids actively involved in making healthy food choices; Get kids involved in the selection and preparation of foods. Halas-Liang's Super Baby Abigail's Lunch Time Adventure sneaks in important health messages in such a fun and entertaining way that it will leave anyone in earshot of this story yearning for more Abigail adventures and more produce!"

"A refreshing twist on the 'eat your vegetables' message, this storybook deliciously pulls together all aspects of healthy eating, from seed to plate.  Super Baby Abigail and her Super Crew show how exciting it is to plant, grow and harvest fruits and vegetables and then assemble the fresh ingredients into mouth-watering sandwiches. They demonstrate that preparing healthy meals together -and cleaning up - is fun and strengthens the feeling of camaraderie.  This book is just right for families who so lovingly nourish growing bodies, minds, and spirits."

"Children's books offer a wonderful way to teach about fruits and vegetables -- and to encourage their love of reading.  As Abigail shares her Lunch Time Adventure, the joy of growing veggies and discovering new foods for a yummy lunch time sandwich brings fun and lots of good-for-you foods to children.  Her adventure will delight young readers and encourage them to enjoy eating healthful foods too!"
