An adorable little board book about Jewish foods. It could be great for a Jewish holiday, or just anytime! It starts with, "I smell fresh-baked challah -- it must be Friday night! I dip my in the wine. We eat by candlelight."

I love these food books, but I wish it had a pronunciation guide on the back along with the index.

Amy Wilson Sanger gives young readers a taste of international cuisine with her World Snacks series. Fun rhyming text is paired with mixed media illustrations. Each book either has a pronunciation guide or a description of each food that's talked about. These books are great to include in a library with a focus on different cultures.

I like the idea of introducing children to a culture through their food. After all, food is an important aspect of cultural identity.

I didn't like that some of the rhymes were really forced (or weren't even actual rhymes).

The collage illustrations were decent. But I think that the style is becoming over used.

It's not a bad book, but it doesn't really excite me much.

Another ethnic food book -- you gotta love it! The kids might not get the randomness of it, but the parents reading it will!
