About this story

Can a plate of plain noodles become a rainbow? Rosie the bunny loves noodles. Plain white noodles. Noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner! So Grandpa Badger takes her rainbow hunting in the garden. Red strawberries, orange carrots, yellow corn, green broccoli and blue blueberries: with tiny tasting bites, a "not yet" that is perfectly OK, and a little chef's hat, Rosie finds out that every color can be delicious. A sunny read-aloud about trying new foods without pressure. For ages 3-5.

  • Rainbow — a curve of colours in the sky
  • Noodle — a long soft strip of pasta
  • Colour — red, orange, yellow, green, blue and more
  • Taste — to try a small bite of food
  • Strawberry — a small sweet red fruit
  • Broccoli — a green vegetable shaped like a little tree
  • Not yet — not now, but maybe another time
  • Delicious — tasting really, really good
