Fruits of India

This small-format book features portraits of Indian fruits against sumptuously colored backdrops. The fruits are photographed up close and sometimes in cross-section. Viewers can see the subtle red in a plum, the crooked rind of an orange, and the dimples on a guava. Some may be frustrated that the fruits are only identified in a list at the end. Also available: Flowers of India and Vegetables of India . Ages 5–up. (Apr.)
