In this beautiful exploration of everyone's favorite fresh food, Olaf Hajek's brilliantly colored and uniquely stylized paintings are accompanied by informative texts that will enthrall readers of all ages.
As in his previous books, Flower Power and Veggie Power, Hajek's whimsical, imaginative paintings—inspired by a variety of artistic traditions—situate each fruit in a fascinating cultural context. Each “portrait” features delightful pictorial clues about how the fruits are grown and consumed. Opposite the illustrations, Annette Roeder's engaging texts offer illuminating and often surprising facts from throughout history and contemporary life. As mouthwatering as a summer peach, and as surprising as a pomegranate's seeds, this book serves up page after page of delicious, nutritious, but most of all fun portions of fruity knowledge from all over the world.
本书探索了每个人喜欢的新鲜食物,奥拉夫·哈耶克(Olaf Hajek)色彩艳丽、风格独特的画作伴随着内容丰富的文字,将吸引所有年龄段的读者。
正如哈耶克以前的书《花的力量》和《蔬菜的力量》一样,异想天开、富有想象力的绘画受到各种艺术传统的启发,将每种水果置于一个迷人的文化背景中。每幅“画像”都有关于这些水果如何生长和消费的有趣线索。在插图对页,安妮特•罗德(Annette Roeder)引人入胜的文字提供了历史上和当代生活中具有启发性且经常令人惊讶的事实。这本书像夏日的桃子一样令人垂涎欲滴,像石榴的种子一样令人惊讶,提供了一页又一页来自世界各地的美味、营养、有趣的水果知识。
