“Benny The Blender Makes Green Juice”

The story behind Benny The Blender Makes Green Juice

You know those “oops” comics in Highlights High Five magazines? Or maybe you’ve read the Sandra Boynton’s classic Blue Hat, Green Hat (public library)?

My kids love those stories. They’re:

• Simple
• Clever
• Completely ridiculous (in a humorous way young children can and should appreciate)

I can hear the belly laughs from reading those stories over and over.

And that’s why this book, Benny The Blender Makes Green Juice uses that “oops!” format.

Kids learn when they’re playing. And by playing the oops game, or in this book’s case, the “No!” game, young children will have a riot learning about fruit, greens, seeds, and other whole foods.

Why Benny The Blender Makes Green Juice makes a great gift

Here are some of the practical benefits of this simple book:

Learn practical food words

Alongside first words, kids will learn what’s in their family’s fridge. The book has realistic drawings of various greens, seeds and other green juice ingredients.

Practice categorizing

Cookie monster will teach you about lettuce. But Benny The Blender will teach you about other greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens by grouping them (and then contrasting them with something absurd like a fire truck).

Experience simple humor

Appreciating the ridiculous is an important life skill. It also makes day-to-day with children so much fun. Should we put a soccer ball in the blender? No! That’s ridiculous, soccer balls don’t belong in a blender.

Start ’em young

The best way to get kids to eat healthy is to start them at a young age. Make ’em into those kids who drink green juice because they crave it!
