Description: Book 2 of the Baram Picture Book series. This picture book tells the story of a running race among vegetables. Fun, rhythmic phrases like the fava beans standing side by side, the fresh green parsley, and the wiggling celery make it even more enjoyable for children to follow along and read aloud. Kids who read this book will run and cheer alongside all kinds of vegetables, getting completely swept up in the fun of the story, and naturally come to see vegetables as their friends. There are also hidden little stories that add extra charm, like the cabbage with a disgruntled look on its face as it fiddles with its third-place medal, and the cucumber who stands alone, turned the other way. This picture book stands out for its rich, playful illustrations of vegetables that seem to leap right off the page and come to life before your eyes.
