Colour explodes from Ehlert's bold, beautiful cut-paper collages like seeds from an over-ripe pod. Three gift-sized editions of her beloved hardcover picture books-Eating the Alphabet (with a glossary of fruits and vegetables), Planting a Rainbow (a concept book about colours and different flowers), and Growing Vegetable Soup (includes a recipe!)-are packaged in a lovely slipcase with a 16 x 22 flower-garden poster. It's a springtime extravaganza!

Cut shapes drenched in assorted hues are assembled into brilliant fruits and vegetables, with each page becoming an eclectic display of produce that corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. - Booklist Starred Review The watercolour illustrations...seem to grow off the page in bursts of health and freshness as they capture the very essence of each food. - The Horn Book Praise for Planting a Rainbow: A graphic celebration of planting a glorious flower garden.
