Amy Wilson Sanger (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 1 and up | Series: World Snacks

The third book in our World Snacks series will satisfy hungry minds with its introduction to the comfiest of Jewish foods. Pages burst with bagels, knishes, tsimmes, and latkes—and lots and lots of matzoh. There's even . . . a scoop of noodle kugel in my fancy-schmancy bowl next to fruit-filled hamentaschen and some nutty rugelach rolls. Filled with tasty mixed media and cut-paper collages, LET'S NOSH! will have bubelahs large and small coming back for seconds.• Includes simple definitions of the foods.• Perfect gift for any Jewish holiday and appropriate for kosher households.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Jewish delicacies create a smorgasbord in Let's Nosh! by Amy Wilson Sanger, the latest addition to the World Snacks series. " 'Carrot tsimmes,' calls my tummy,/ 'Let's nosh on kasha knish'/ Look how I made/ mish-mosh/ of my gefilte fish!" Colorful collages of fabrics, ribbon and more whet the appetite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Obey your tummy. Let your eyes Nosh on this book, August 14, 2002

I liked her earlier Sushi book; and although the rhymes seemed better with Sushi, I like this new book even more. I bought several copies to use a small gifts. With the unique cutout collage graphics, and a fabric bagel and challah, the reader is introduced to several fun and colorful noshes, including floating matzoh balls on a red checkerboard tablecloth, and chopped liver on dark rye on a blue check tablecloth. There's a fancy schmancy kugel with your orange sippy cup, and a mish moshed gefilte fish with carrots on a tray. So put down your kasha knish and gefilte fish, light your Friday night candle light, and buy this book for a lite bite.

My kids have all of Amy Wilson Sanger's books. This one is probably their least favorite, though it's still good. Part of it may be my fault - I am not at all familiar with this food and so hesitate a little more over the words and don't get a good rhythm going. If you know your Jewish food, you probably would enjoy this just as much as the others. The pictures are still wonderful!

As another reviewer mentioned, while this one has the definitions on the back, there is no pronunciation guide, and that is too bad for me, personally.

All in all, this is still a wonderful kids book - more fun than most others out there - but not the best of this author's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars This author's books are very witty and fun for all ages., March 17, 2010

If you are a foodie and want to share your love of food with you little one these books are perfect. The art is a mix of paper cutouts and found objects and the rhyming story is very cute. You'll be repeating things like "Hola Jalapeno" to your little one with glee! I just wish this author would put out more of this series of books.
