This book is collection of poems about different foods and follows a silly family as they eat throughout an entire day. It starts out with the smell of cinnamon buns baking at breakfast and ends with a delicious dinner and dessert. Along the way, the illustrations are super colorful, fun and there's even a poem about table manners. As a reader, I really enjoyed this lighthearted book and how the illustrations made each poem come to life. Plus, many of the creative poems appealed to the senses and featured alliteration, like the line "salty secrets" in the Potato Chip poem.
As a teacher, this book would be great to use during a unit on nutrition and students could write their own short poems or stories about their favorite food. Then, students could create an illustration to go along with and share with the class. It would also be fun for students to bring the foods mentioned in the poems to class or create a classroom menu for an entire school day.
