Children's Book Pick of the Week

"Food for thought: The complete book of concepts for growing minds" by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers

This book is fantastic! Concepts such as shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and opposites are presented through the kid friendly medium of food. Each page has a beautiful photograph of the carved fruits and veggies. For example for the number 9, there are 9 nine frogs created by green bell peppers. The creativity involved is just amazing.

My kids love looking at this book. The pictures are so engaging that often my reading services are not required. But if I am asked to read this book I don't mind because the food sculptures are just so amazing to look at.

This book is available at Barnes and Noble or your local library.
