(3) PS In this clever concept book, Freymann and Elffers use their popular edible sculptures, e.g., giraffes sculpted from bananas and a radish man driving a cucumber car, to teach about shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and opposites. Though some of the fruit-and-vegetable constructions were seen in previous volumes, they still seem fresh as they successfully interpret the various concepts.
