Book Reviews of First Book of Sushi (World Snacks)
Book Review: Adorable!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for a friend (it was on her baby registry). When I received I had to show it to everyone I knew before I could bring myself to wrap it.
It's just a really cute book with beautiful artwork. It's fun to rhyme about food! I personally think it's a great idea to introduce young children to ethnic foods. I think in the U.S. we have the idea that children won't/can't eat anything other than chicken nuggets and mac&cheese because their palettes aren't developed. Maybe their palettes aren't developed, but there are dishes in any cuisine that children can eat. I mean, what do you think 3 year olds in Japan, or in Ethiopia eat? Hint: not chicken nuggets.
Anyway, I think this is a cute and fun way to introduce kids to the larger world and the different cultures and foods within. My friend says she can't wait to get the whole collection of these books for her kids.
Book Review: SushiLoving Toddler!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter received this book and 2 others (Yum Yum Dim Sum, and Hola Jalapeno) as a gift when she was born. In the last 3 years we have grabbed these books over and over again at bedtime, to go out for dinner, overnight trips... all the time! She recognizes the pieces of sushi she just had for dinner and LOVES to read the book to herself (from memory... of course). The illustrations are vivid and fun to look at and the rhyming words are like lyrics to her ("Someday I'll Eat With Chopsticks, But Today Just With My Hands")! She often asked for "Miso In My Sippy Cup, Tofu In My Bowl"!
Don't miss this one! Makes a great gift for your little ones and thier friends!!!!
Book Review: Way too Cute!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for my three year old neice with a set of wooden sushi toys, "Melissa & Doug Wooden Sushi" and together, she spent more time with this book and toy than anything else. She memorized this book and recited it to me over and over... and over on the phone (Which means, her Mom and sister must have read it to her many times). It was so irresistable to hear her learning and having fun, I was full game to listen.
This of course led to her introduction to real sushi which she passed with flying colors and this book gave her the confidence to think she was ordering for herself. I'm so glad I found this book for her.
Book Review: A Feast Between The Pages
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my daughter when she was not even a year old (truth be told, I bought the book for myself). She is almost 3 this year and still loves her sushi book. Her favorite parts are the wasabi, hot, hot, hot and big, big, futomaki. Not only does she love the words and rhythm of the book but also she adores the illustrations; every corner of every page is filled with something interesting for her to look at. This book also encouraged her to try some of my sushi, which she loved almost as much as the book. I would recommend this book to every parent and have often given it at baby showers.Book Review: Terrific!
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids got this book when they were about 6 months old. They loved the rhythm even then, and it's still one that they pick up and ask for now, at 18 months. I love it as a parent - I think the author is clever and talented! It will make much more sense, both rhythmically and logically, if you remember to include the line on the back cover as the end of the book.
On some of her other books, she includes either definitions of the food or pronunciation guides - this has neither, so I may be butchering the words, but no one seems to care.
