This wish-I'd-thought-of-that compendium provides an excellent impetus for a craft session: the ingredients are cheap, and mistakes can be eaten as salad (if artists have the heart). It's a sentiment as healthy as an apple a day, but the book's real charm is derived from the almost-ready-made ""sculptures""-as an afterword calls them. Play With Your Food Hardcover Septemby Joost Elffers (Author), Saxton Freymann (Author) 56 ratings Hardcover 12.15 10 Used from 7.75 Paperback 50.39 3 Used from 50. Meanwhile, the rhyming text draws comparisons between the emotive plants and its audience when it queries, ""Wired? Tired? Need a kiss?/ Do you know anyone like this?""

Their groupings imply close relationships: lemons trade meaningful glances and a little onion cries. The animated groceries are exhibited, actual size or larger, against crisp hues of harvest gold, melon green or late-night-sky blue. Without further ado, the veggie becomes a face, with a knobby stem or skinny root for a schnozzola an upended mushroom has a hilarious piglike snout, while a kiwi fruit has a button nose. Freymann and Elffers find a piece of ""expressive produce"" and attach two black-eyed peas for eyes. Photos of scowling oranges and gregarious scallions garnish this garden of delights from the creators of Play with Your Food.
