Food for Thought is a conceptual picture book that consists of photographed pieces of fruit and vegetables that are carved into animal shapes. So, two strawberries become a dog holding a piece of watermelon shaped into an umbrella with an asparagus handle. This book is fun for a reader of any age, because it's interesting to see how they fashioned food into art, and to distinguish both the animal depicted and the food used on each page. The concepts though, like all the letters of the alphabets, single digit numerals,shapes, colors and opposites (big and small, hold and cold, etc.) are perfect for reading readiness. They are also adorably depicted and easily understood even for very young children. The concept of this book is show more innovative, fun, and I highly recommend it. show less
Charming. I love trying to identify the different foods and food parts used.
This book deals with different concepts that are key for all students to learn, including shapes, colors, numbers, and even the abc's all in one book. This book is sure to get a good laugh for the students and even the teacher.
A book that shows the concepts of shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and opposites. Different types of fruit and vegetables are used to illustrate the concepts. The use of the fruit and vegetables varies from just using the simple to the very laborate. All types of fruit and vegetables are used and are photographed against a simple background of just one color. The items help convey the concepts and even show emotion when it is needed.
This book shows colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and opposites in a fun way. It uses fruits and vegetables to make shapes and show opposites and colors.
Are illustrations too creepy?
