A is for Apple … Q is for What?

Nothing's better than a delicious bite of mouth-watering sunshine on a cold January day.

There are hundreds of kinds of fruits all over the world. Did you know that nuts are considered fruits? Also, some familiar vegetables are really fruits.
So snuggle up under a warm blanket, grab a fresh juicy pear and put on your thinking cap.

With pencil and paper in hand, see how many different fruit you can think of for each letter of the alphabet.

Which letter has the most?
Which letter has the least?
Good Luck!
