    Great Children's Book
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2022*

I have five grandchildren and all of them have loved this book. It is very intertwining and the illustrations are great. I would highly recommend it for children from 3 to 7.

    "Why don't you give it that avocado pear..."
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2016*

And the rest was history :) I love this book. It was one of my favorite and most memorable from childhood and got me loving avocados (so healthy) from an early age. I recently purchased for my expecting sister.Buuuuut, it has some edgy themes I was surprised by in a recent reading: namely bullying & robbery. I don't think many would give it a second thought in the 80's (we had cigarette vending machines goddammit), but today...it will raise an eyebrow for some. Not trying to perpetuate overly PC, trigger-warning, Safe Zone thinking...I'm a semi-pro athlete that loves 'locker-room talk'. Just saying.I still love this book and while it has its imperfections, it sits comfortably in my top ten kiddo books.P.S. Three other books I loved as a young kid

    Hilarious and educational children's book about healthy food!
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2012*

Avocado Baby by John Burningham is a hilarious book about a family expecting a baby.  The family, the Hargraves, are afraid their new baby will be weak, like the rest of the family.  When the baby is born, he is fussy and won't eat.  The mother is at her wit's end.  Then, one of the other kids suggests feeding the baby an avocado.  The mother gives it a try and the baby is suddenly super-strong - fending off burglars and bullies - even throwing a bully in a lake!  My 5-year old and I both laughed out loud at this one.  He wanted to read it over and over again, laughing every time. It's one of his favorites.  My son already loves avocados, but I can imagine this book would convince any picky kid to give avocados a try.  I hope John Burningham will write more books about the power of healthy fruits and vegetables!Emily Webber  [...]
