Colorful photographs help young children identify a variety of fruit while being introduced to basic science and math concepts. There is a different option to consider and discuss on each page. By comparing and contrasting what they observe, children can better understand the characteristics, similarities, differences, and relationships between things, and develop analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. In addition, they can enhance their language skills by describing what they observe.
I Spy Fruit is a great addition to any fruit, gardening, harvest, nutrition, food group, or life science theme for parents of young children or preschool and early childhood educators.
Included in this picture book are a reader's guide and suggestions for open-ended inquiry.
