Review Detail

BRAVO, AVOCADO! is a cute picture book about self-confidence and finding your talents. Avocado really wants to be the special of the day, but she can't seem to find what makes her stand-out. She asks the other foods for help in figuring it out, but the things they suggest don't seem quite right. It is only upon reflection that Avocado realizes all the great things she already is.

What I loved: This is a really cute and fluffy story with plenty of food-related puns to make little ones giggle. The story moves quickly with suggestions from friends being offered and rejected as Avocado tries them out. Detailed illustrations and adorable, anthropomorphized foods will appeal to young readers with all their color and special flair. The ultimate messages of self-confidence and finding your own ways to shine were great for the intended age group and come across well.

Final verdict: BRAVO, AVOCADO is a charming picture book that will appeal to preschool and young elementary school readers with its sweet message, colorful images, and adorable characters.
