Book details
Avocado Baby
Description
The story follows the Hargraves family who has a new baby that won't stop crying and refuses to eat anything. That is until the baby tries an avocado and discovers a love for the fruit. The baby grows incredibly strong, with the strength increasing with each avocado consumed, leading to a series of amusing and adventurous situations. A new edition of the classic board book beautifully reissued, celebrating the power of babies and avocados. The Hargraves are a weak and puny family. When a new baby arrives, they’re willing to try anything to make it grow big and strong, including feeding it avocados. The story is amusing for adults, impressive for toddlers, and good for greengrocers, authored by John Burningham, one of the most outstanding author-illustrators of children's books today.
