Avocado Baby by John Burningham

We’ve all heard of superfoods but Burningham takes this idea quite literally with his funny farfetched tale. Mrs Hargraves wants her baby to grow big and strong but his reluctance to eat means that he isn’t growing strong as hoped. That is until one day Mrs Hargraves feeds him an avocado pear … Avocado does for this baby what spinach did for Popeye as his extraordinary strength sees him tackle burglars and bullies alike. If there was ever a way to encourage your child to eat their greens, then this amusing book is surely the way to entice them.
