How Are You Peeling?: Foods with Moods by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers

A friend of my wife recommended this book to me...so it pains me to say this. I did not like this book, I thought it was unbelievably dorky. Actually I think it is because this book is trying too hard to scream out the word "CUTE".

The book is a series of photos with various fruits and vegetables with faces expressing various moods. As I checked the book out of the library (I was already feeling embarrassed at this point), the clerk said, "They will pay people to do anything!"

Even though this book disturbs me beyond belief, I think I might have to read it to a small group of children to see how they react. Maybe I've just lost my sense of humor about these things.
