A whimsical-yet factual-series of questions and answers about the things we eat... and don't eat! Food critic Joshua David Stein whets the appetite of young readers with a wondrous and informative approach to talking about food. This humorous, stylized and entirely unexpected set of food facts will engage both good eaters and resisters alike. With questions both practical ("Can you eat a sea urchin?") and playful ("Do eggs grow on eggplants?"), this read-aloud text offers young children facts to share and the subtle encouragement to taste something new! Food and textile illustrator Julia Rothman brings an authenticity to the text that Stein has written from the heart, for his own three year-old and for pre-schoolers everywhere. Created for ages 3-5 years

"This wonderfully stylish, funny and informative book will whet the appetites of young gastronomes and fussy eaters alike."-BookTrust.org.uk "It's a book for both dubious and curious eaters that also cleverly explores the foibles of the English language.

Stein's clever words and tight phrasing are put to good effect alongside Rothman's colourful illustrations" -West Weekend magazine "Adorable and hilarious" -A Cup of Jo blog "An absolute beauty of a children's book...

Tempting fare for venturesome children" -Kirkus Reviews "Fun and informative... Not only has illustrator Julia Rothman done a brilliant job making and food and food production appealing to young readers, but the book's global perspective means new foods might be just be embraced a bit more willingly while you're away" -Olive "Giddy in its sense of linguistic discovery" -Publishers Weekly "A playful series of Q's & A's about food! Informative yet entertaining, as well as encouraging good eaters." -Angels & Urchins "A feast of fun."-Inis (Ireland) "A quirky combination of fact and fun, this distinctive picture book about food poses questions that inquisitive children typically ask, such as: 'If I eat jelly and I eat fish, can I eat jellyfish?'
