// UPDATE -- The perpetrator appears to be none other than Saxton Freymann, and a number of his books can be found on Amazon.com.//

I know someone who had a calender with these exact pictures! I'll ask her tomorrow :).
saxton freymann is the guy who makes these.
I'm not sure what the name of the book is... but i've seen them sold as greetings cards in a few shops in England :-o
I don't know about any books, but I do know they're sold as greeting cards & there are loads of uber cute designs...I've got the orange winking pinned to my wall :)
I think those are from Play With Your Food.
http://www.amazon.com/Play-Your-Food-Joost-Elffers/dp/1556706308/sr=8-1/qid=1168975937/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-4014121-8940450?ie=UTF8&s=books
I've seen them as birthday cards too. I'll check the photo credit on the back.
These could be from any number of books by Joost Elfers and Saxton Freymann. My son has the book and calendar called "Food for Thought".
The book that started all this veggies-with-faces madness is called "Play With Your Food." There are several sequels now available, including an entire book dedicated to pumpkins (natch). I'm sure Amazon carries one of 'em. Enjoy!
There's a whole series of these book--Play with Your Food, How Are You Peeling? etc.--by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers. They are definitely geniuses.
Meg,
I saw a calendar like this at the school where I used to teach. I think it was done by one of the food service companies that delivered food to the school. The company name was Sysco. I'll call my friend that worked in the kitchen there and find out for sure...
"Play With Your Food!"
It IS a coffee table book! :D
(and, as someone else pointed out, a calender, and a poster, and prints, and...)
There are some even cuter ones than that out there -- I think there are some with like, squash puppies or something...
totally have that book!! (play with your food)
These are the best--the calendars even come with stickers. I wanted another one for this year, but couldn't find one...
I remember those fruits! Some of them I've never seen before, but most of them are from a book called "How Are You Peeling?" I forget the author, but I can look it up.
HA! Pure GENIOUS!!!
I had a calender myself - but couldn't tell you the who's and why's of it all. Luckily - other peeps here seem to have it covered. I'm Diggin the Beso de Fresa too!! Hilarity!
Those are from books by
Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann with titles like "How Are You Peeling?" and "Food For Thought"
88: yeah, it's bad, sick, ill, and all those complimentary terms.
definitely "play with your food". it's by joost elffers. he also did a book called "food play", both available on amazon. and then there's "food for thought" he did together with saxton freymann.
the possibilities are endless! :)
[whistling inno-cent-ly]
The lemons ! - oh my gosh ! --it's an actual party; You know ur work day sucks when u notice lemons are having more fun than u ----:(
Yep, it's Play With Your Food. I have it on my coffeetable. :-)
LOVE THE LEMONS
Gossips!
I believe the strawberry is keesing the bleen, 88. You're just jealous...
Nice one, T-O. Saw your fingerprints on that one right away.
[giggling]
[somewhat less inno-cent-ly]
Everyone is correct. Saxton Freymann & Joost Elffers partnered to make books, calendars, cards, etc.
Here is a link to the author's website.

...and thank you, Bats, for picking up the ball. So to speak.
aww sweet!
i bought a couple of them at butlers!
I think these are from How Are You Peeling?
http://www.amazon.com/How-Are-Peeling-Saxton-Freymann/dp/0439104319/sr=8-1/qid=1168979172/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-9872603-4908449?ie=UTF8&s=books
Nice work, Saxton! Those are hilarious :D
I LURVE these! I have the stickers from last year's calendar. I want to keep them forever, at least until I find another calendar. It didn't seem to be available this year. The little scallion dude is my favorite, i think.
I totally used to paint fruit as people too. I would take a Beach Boys song, and then switch the lyrics around slightly to describe a particular fruit as the focus of the song. Then I would paint the fruit into the situation described by the song. I thought I was so original.
I love the resigned look on the face of the scallion. "Oh no, I did not just do that AGAIN..."
actually, i think the lemons might be my favorites, with those noses.
ACK! Could it BE any cuter?? I want that banana dog!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh sum1 has my name!!!!!! overload overload overload, too much cute little fruits!!!!1
Ooh, I have had a Saxton fFeymann calendar for the past 3 years and I love him! There is a calendar for 2007, but it's general cute animal food items, not just puppy dogs like my previous ones: http://www.amazon.com/FOOD-THOUGH-PLAY-YOUR-CALENDAR/dp/B000JF8RA6/sr=8-1/qid=1168980855/ref=sr_1_1/103-2973099-1698203?ie=UTF8&s=books
He also has a number of books out. Just search Amazon.com.
OK folks I just checked the gloss and can't find it. The big mystery of my life (or just my workday) is: WHAT IS BLEEN? What is it exactly? Anyone care to enlighten me?
These are cute, they're from a book called Play With Your Food. They also made cards and posters.
What is it with dachshunds and bananas? First we had the wiener dogs dressed in Chiquita Banana outfits, and now another banana doggie.
I don't get the a-peel.
[LMAO]
...easy there, CG. You'll strain a posser.
CG - check out urbandictionary.com
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bleen
lol, but I still don't know what it means either...
DB: I was just thinking of that and marveling. I never expected to use the words "banana weiner dog" AGAIN on CO. Just goes to show you can't see the future.
CeeJoe... I'm sure if you typed any random combination of between 3 and 8 letters, UrbanDictionary would match some definition or other to it. There is no spoon.
What a nice way to end the day. Yeah - tomorrow is hump day!!! Have a good one peeps.
I find the winking orange to be a bit disturbing...
I do love the lemons. Super-cute.
I think "bleen" is the noise someone makes when they stick their tongue out at you. I remember it from Charlie Brown. Or maybe it's "blee"...
My dad just gave the book to my mom for Xmas. Hilarious!
Theo, you're leading me down a slippery slope...I shall amaze you with my ignorance....what's posser and how would I strain one?
hehe;)
