Enjoyable for everyone

I got this book used but in almost perfect condition at an exceptional price. I have a 9yr old and a 2yr old, and they both love this book. My brother is a chef and he enjoyed it as well. Everyone likes this book. It's just fun.

Five fantastic books in one - a treat for your eyes!

This book has 5 books inside this one awesome book! There are Shapes, Colors, Numbers 1 - 10, Opposites and letters of the Alphabet. The great book has kept my daughters attention from a toddler to even now as a 1st grader! The books table of contents shows a mushroom table with a bowl some kind of food.

I'd have loved to see Joost Eiffers when he first saw whatever inspired him to make his first vegetable or fruit creation! Who'd have thought that a black eye pea would make an eye and tomatoes would make adorable chubby red hippo! Terrific book for young toddlers to teach the the basics of counting, colors, letters of the alphabet and opposites. And also what kinds of food was used and what kinds of food is in their home that is also in this book. My daughter's favorites are the mushroom man and I like the monkey hanging on a mint branch. Great gift!!

Magical

I bought this book for my 2 year old grand daughter (or was it for me?).
We just love the clever and artistic use of the veggies and fruit
that we eat every day. Very unique and very FUN!!!!

Visual Feast

It isn't just that food is used exclusively for every illustration in this vibrant, colorful book. The striking thing, really, is that the food just oozes personality.

The orange orange winks. The red pepper is goofy while the green pepper is sort of bilious. The sheep - made of cauliflower with darling little beanish eyes - are charming and sweet. A big orange yelling at a crowd of little kumquats truly frightens them.

A visual treat with good variety of basic concepts.

Engaging, well produced, interesting

I bought this book because my son already loved "Fast food" from the same authors/collection (he read it at a public library) and as I bought it to him as a gift I included this book as a companion. The concept is similar in that fruits and vegetables are used to recreate things such as faces, animals or vehicles. It is quite different from fast food, however, in that this is more of a "dictionary"/"encyclopedia" type. There are several sections on letters, shapes, colors, numbers, etc. that are illustrated via the well-known fruits and vegetables. This makes this book considerably longer, and it lacks the rhymes of "fast food". In its category, this is an awesome book. It shares the quality and beauty of "fast food", the clever idea. My 2yo really liked this book and for a while preferred it over the other one! However, he is still young and went back to fast food for the rhymes and its shortness. Nonetheless, I am almost sure that he will come back to this one as he grows older and finds more pleasure in this type of work, perhaps once he is learning the letters, etc.

The authors of HOW ARE YOU PEELING? serve up a cornucopia of concepts in this big book for brilliant babies. Shapes: Is that a carrot, or a triangle? Colors: Watch for peppers in every range of the rainbow. Numbers: A zero-to-ten zoo! ABCs: A full produce section of sculptures acts out the alphabet. And Opposites: You've never seen Up/Down and Big/Little like this before! Every time we think Saxton Freymann can do no more with bok choy or broccoli, he astonishes us all over again. And this book is one-stop shopping for all parents' early-childhood education needs. Try some FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
