a-z: one for the good guys!

"Take one seven year old boy named Freddie and his mother as they face the challenge of turning him from a Vegetable-Phobic into a boy who will eat and even enjoy some of life's leafier pleasures. Join us as we work through the A to Z of vegetables!"

Charlotte Hume, The Great Big Vegetable Challenge

This blog caught my eye some time ago and along the way has clearly captured the hearts of many as Charlotte chronicles the journey of Freddie with Alex and friends in tow through the vegetables alphabet. So much so that their adventure is now a published book!

The Great Big Vegetable Challenge goes beyond good parenting - if you ever find yourself wondering what to do with "that vegie" Charlotte has probably documented it.
