A Kid's Review
Format:Board book
Brilliantly fantastic. What a fun way to introduce our kids to the foods that WE love to eat. My daughter loves the illustrations, and we love being able to teach her words like quinoa, opah, and habanero.

By C. A. Moitra
Format:Board book
My Foodie ABC is an excellent choice for gourmet parents and their babies and children. My three month old loves the simple, colorful, and tasty pictures. His shorter attention span can handle the concise food descriptions too. I love the fact that the book includes some very interesting and lesser known foods (I learned more about dragon fruit than I knew before!). I look forward to reading this book to my son when he's older too...when he can try some of the foods after or while we read!
