This is the book that so many parents have dreamed of! Finally, a story which makes fruit and vegetables funny and attractive. Who knows, it might even make them try new ones!

For as long as anyone can remember, the fruits and vegetables had been fighting. But grape and mushroom decide it's time for change! They go on a courageous expedition to find The Wise Old Cheese. Can he help them to find a resolution?

Alex Latimer has used wonderful language and careful illustrations to bring these characters to life. The facial expressions and body language that he creates is wonderful. In the classroom, Food Fight could be linked to friendships, jumping to conclusions, seeing issues from different perspectives and working together. This is a beautiful story that would be a fantastic addition to any home or classroom. Food Fight will have children in fits of giggles.
