My Foodie ABC: A Little Gourmet's Guide (Foodie Books)

This is a great little book for a foodie of any age. My husband and I are always looking for ways to include our son into our activities--especially important activities like learning to cook and enjoy healthy food. Our little guy is only 5 months old, but he loves looking at the brightly colored pictures. It's a durable board book so he is able to grasp the pages without damaging them. We talk about food in the kitchen while cooking together as a family. We often pull this book out and read it to him at the table while one of us preps dinner. From there we walk around the kitchen and talk about what foods we are preparing that night. But the book isn't only for little ones. My husband and I also learned a thing or two from the descriptions--like that saffron (S) comes from the red stigmas of a bright purple flower. As parents, we enjoy having a book that is a bit more complex than B is for ball etc. There's just enough trivia for each letter to keep Mom and Dad interested too. Overall I think this is a good purchase that will grow with your household and be appreciated for a long time. The only negative I can think of (and it's a very small one) is that the beautifully illustrated letters blend into the background a little more than they do in a conventional high contrast ABC book, which could be a bit challenging for an older child just learning to identify letters, but probably only slightly.

This was given to us almost as a gag gift for me, but the boys actually love it. No idea if anything's sunk in, but they like the art very much and some of the silly words entertain them.

As "foodies" we get a big kick out of this book. We bought it for the baby we are expecting. Our other two daughters ages 6 and 8 really enjoyed and learned a lot from it. A great choice for the foodie in your life (and their child :).

This is a very cute book for those who know their way around the culinary arts. Not sure I want to teach my kids top of the line eating on my budget, but I always appreciate that they have broad and smart learning experiences. This book is just that!

My daughter has an extensive palet for a 2yr old and is familiar with many of the items in this book. She loves seeing the "num nums" she loves and hearing about a few new ones. The mix of items from different cuisines is nice.

My 4 year old daughter and I enjoy this book that was purchased for my baby. More words per page than expected. Really nice how some uncommon foods are included.

have you ever seen the movie "best in show"? do you recall the couple with the weimaraner? although fictional, i believe they may have somehow written this book.

Not your ordinary ABC's of food! This book will get your kids interested in Gourmet foods at an early age.
