In this guess-the-vegetable book, Benzee presents 15 rhyming riddles that hint at common varieties: I'm grown in pods/ On bush or vine/ With spiraling, twisting spine, / The size of a pencil rod... What am I? (a bean). Graphics display each vegetable growing in the dirt and on the vine, or sliced to reveal their seeds and juicy insides-or, in the case of the beet: My blood oozes out/ When I'm cut in two, / Now you have an inner view. Benzee's descriptions are fun, and the artwork features gentle color contrasts and a crisp, modern feel. With the clues in the riddles, images, and the names of the vegetables appearing in bold capital letters, readers should have an easy time guessing each one. Ages 3-7.
