I was underwhelmed by this one. It's won awards and has its own show and everything. It's one of those 'teach your kids to eat' books. I guess it's better than most.
The art is a mixture of simple line drawings and collage. It's okay, but it's a pretty dated look.
The premise is an older brother making up names and origins for ordinary food items in order to make them interesting and appealing to his younger sister. The ideas are okay. The behaviour is mostly plausible.
Of course the little girl eats every single thing.
I'm just really bored by this type of book at this point. There are so many of these.
I don't think I'll bother with any of the other books in the series.
