Picture books featuring fruit and veg

Most children love books themed around food, and this delicious list of fruit and vegetable picture books does not disapoint on that score.

Suitable for children aged 3 upwards, most of the titles on the list centre inclusive human protagonists, with familiar fruits and vegetables providing an enticing focus in each story.

Some of the books take a different approach, using anthropomorphic fruit and vegetable main characters as a gentle way into more sensitive themes, like adoption, identity and belonging, giving young readers just enough distance from real life to explore bigger feelings safely.

Whether it’s a child waiting for a new baby brother, a boy adopting a potato as his pet, or a girl sharing her favourite Korean weekday meals, these delightful books will appeal to all young children.
