BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Avocado wants to be the day's special like the other fruits and vegetables that are for sale. As she searches for what will help her become the special, she encounters other foods that try to help her. Eventually, she learns that her "special" is on the inside and that she is valuable for what makes her an avocado.
I enjoyed the bright, textured illustrations and creative food puns throughout this picture book. I thought it was a bit of a stretch that "special of the day" (on sale) turned into being special on the inside (self-worth). However, this book would likely work well as an SEL lesson on self-worth.
