“… my child enjoyed exploring the vegetable we were reading about while reading the ebook, which enhanced his willingness to try the vegetable during a meal straight afterwards. I am looking forward to reading more of the ebooks with him.”

Our ebooks each show a different vegetable’s journey from farm-to-fork. You can read the books on a smartphone or tablet and, if you wish, personalise them with your child.
Looking at an ebook for a few minutes a day for a couple of weeks can make all the difference when the vegetable appears on your child’s plate! Or check out the activities page for more fun ways to help your child to know and love their greens!
How does See & Eat work?Research shows that pre-schoolers are more likely to eat a vegetable at mealtimes if they are already familiar with what it looks like and where it comes from. The more familiar your child is with vegetables before they appear on their plates, the better! Especially the ones they don’t like or haven’t tried before!
See & Eat ebooks and activities use exposure techniques to help your child become more familiar with vegetables before they try them. Parents tell us that it’s easier to get children to eat their veg after looking at See & Eat books.
