Like the book says, "Someday I'll eat with chopsticks / But today just with my hands." Why should the preschool set be limited to hardened paper stock books with colors, shapes, letters, numbers and animal. Future Foodies need books like this. The graphics are bold and bright, and the rhymes are fun. With "miso in my sippy cup / tofu in my bowl", this book on your cribs will make for tickled ribs.

I bought this for my nephew for Christmas when he was eight months old. He is now 15 months old and has it read to him every night. He loves this book. He often grabs it from his book table. It's the perfect book for small children - short, colorful and rhymey. Just remember that the book actually ends on the back cover, which I thought was a little strange. My sister has memorized this book since she reads it every night and so have I. I plan on giving this book at baby showers.

My kids got this book when they were about 6 months old. They loved the rhythm even then, and it's still one that they pick up and ask for now, at 18 months. I love it as a parent - I think the author is clever and talented!

It will make much more sense, both rhythmically and logically, if you remember to include the line on the back cover as the end of the book.

On some of her other books, she includes either definitions of the food or pronunciation guides - this has neither, so I may be butchering the words, but no one seems to care.

This is a wonderful book. Our 8 month old loves the pictures and rhymes. Wonderful way to expose our son to a type of food we love. We plan on taking the book with us on our next trip for sushi.

My daughter got this book a few days ago for her first birthday, and my husband and I already really love it! My daughter really likes the bright colors and likes turning the pages. It really is a beautiful book.

I bought this book for my daughter when she was not even a year old (truth be told, I bought the book for myself). She is almost 3 this year and still loves her sushi book. Her favorite parts are the wasabi, hot, hot, hot and big, big, futomaki. Not only does she love the words and rhythm of the book but also she adores the illustrations; every corner of every page is filled with something interesting for her to look at. This book also encouraged her to try some of my sushi, which she loved almost as much as the book. I would recommend this book to every parent and have often given it at baby showers.

Better than your typical baby book. A subject and rhymes that parents will enjoy. Give it to your favorite sushi loving new parents, along with the sushi bib and burpcloth (available from select online baby stores)

A wonderful childs book. Great text, great artwork.

This is a cute book. Wish it had included a pronunciation guide and even a vocab list. Great illustrations.

This book is brilliantly illustrated, and lets face it there's enough generic baby-blah books to choose from. First book of sushi is highly unique. My family lives in hawaii, and we patronize many sushi restaraunts, and in that aspect its a great way to expose my daughter to other cultures, and expand her tastes beyond typical kid food boundaries. Get the book, you will enjoy it.
