My Review:

Mr Broccoli is a fun and entertaining children’s book which has a lovely important message at its heart. I think i know it off by heart now as it is my daughter’s favourite choice for a bed time story.

The story was well written and very engaging, with my daughter enjoying it from the first page. She especially loved the bright colourful drawings that accompanied the book and despite not being able to read spent ages looking at the pictures in the book, retelling the story to herself. Since reading she often makes up similar stories with the carrot toy we got her from Aldi .

The message about how important it is to eat your vegetables is subtely included into the story without it being overdone. My daughter actually already likes vegetables when they are given to her but she has become even more enthusiastic about them and actually asks if she will be getting vegetables for supper now. As a parent I have to admit I had my doubts about how successful this book would be in encouraging children to like vegetables but i have to admit I’m pleasantly surprised with the results.

I thought this was an excellent children’s book and I will definitely be recommending it to other parents. Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the author for my copy of this book.

The first book “Mr. Broccoli” part of a series “Veggie Adventures” combined imaginative
characters with a theme of nutrition. Children can be fussy when it comes to eating vegetables creating an imaginative world around vegetable characters could encourage children to
eat more healthily. This sparked the wonderful idea of providing the message to the reader
through engaging short stories of Veggie Adventure series, with “Mr. Broccoli” being the first.
