What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
N/A. This is a straightforward educational concept book with no sensitive content.
Ideal Reader
A toddler, aged 12 to 30 months, who is in the midst of a language explosion. It's also perfectly suited for a slightly younger baby (6-12 months) for visual stimulation or a slightly older toddler (2-3 years) who is a reluctant eater, as it presents food in a playful, non-threatening context away from the mealtime table.
Parent Prep
No preparation is necessary. This book can be read cold. For an enhanced experience, a parent could gather a few of the foods pictured to create a simple sensory activity of matching the object to the picture, touching, smelling, and maybe even tasting the food. A parent has just heard their 18-month-old say a new word and wants to capitalize on the moment to expand their vocabulary. Or, a parent is feeling frustrated by their toddler's refusal to try new foods and is looking for a book to make food seem more fun and less intimidating.
