The Vitamin Parade!
Water soluble and Fat soluble vitamins,
all here are in the queue
to meet you and introduce themselves!
Vitamin Parade MA Calvey 2006
Warning.......
Some vitamins are very “giddy” and will pretend they are someone else..
You must decide in each case whether the introduction is genuine
or if they are fooling you.....
And respond appropriately!
Each vitamin will individually give a brief introduction of themselves, in no time at all you’ll know them all!

Your Job!
