Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Counting Fun with Fruits & Veggies
Allison Eley · 2026
72/100
👍 Worth It
A brand-new (2026) indie counting book: 1 to 15 in fruits and vegetables, a rhyme plus a bite-size nutrition fact per spread, and a hidden bee on every page — the find-it gimmick kids actually replay. Know two things going in: it's explicitly faith-based (the Creator's design frames the food facts), and it's $24.99 for 44 pages, premium pricing for a self-published hardcover. If the faith framing fits your family, it's a warm, genuinely made book from a real author-illustrator — worth it. If it doesn't fit, that framing is on most pages.
