The World of Fruits
Banana, apple, strawberry, jackfruit, papaya, apricot. Those are some of the names of fruit that we like, or perhaps we hate. The Russian children story book authors, Alexandra Lopatina and Maria Skrebtsova share the same way of making us like fruits even more. They both write series of “The Storyteller’s Guide to Health”, which the content is to invite us to live healthy life by consuming only the healthy food. The first series entitled “The World of Fruits” that we are going to talk about here. The second series is about “The World of Vegetables”.
For us who wants to know more about fruits, the books provide more than just information. It also has creative games and cooking related activities. Of course the recipes are simple and we can try without Mom’s close supervision, Superkids. Is that it? Oh, no. It also has some explanation about vitamin and nutrient in our menu.
“The World of Fruits” consists of several short stories. Each of this fruit srories is packed in interesting way like a fairy tale. But the main message about eating fruit is sweetly delivered. Each fruit has its own taste, color and shape, Superkids. Some of them are important for daily consumption, others are not advisable for health in large portion. Banana, cheap fruit that is available anywhere in Indonesia, has fiber that is good for our digesting system. Therefore, banana is good for everyday consumption.
Not only “The World of Fruits” can attract us to fruit. The book is also intended for adults who want to live healthy life. Mommy will like simple fruit based the recipes. While Dad will be more selective to pick good meal for his health, after short brief from Alexandra and Maria.
Have a nice fruit.
