A sequel to the highly successful Oliver's Vegetables: this time Oliver's visit to Grandpa has included picking and processing many fruits from the garden, all far superior to Mum's supermarket offerings. Oliver's words are carefully chosen so that we are as surprised as Mum when we realise that he does not actually like fruit. He is converted by a stunning tropical fruit salad that even Grandpa could not have grown. Bold, exuberant gouache paintings fill the pages to bursting, with some interesting perspectives. Good fun - and, perhaps, even inspiring to the vitamin-deprived!
