My daughter received this book as a gift on her 1st birthday. She is half Indian, half Welsh- how exciting for her to have a board book about Indian foods for her book collection! I didn't even know such books existed. What a pleasant surprise. The book is well done- great illustrations and funny. Would love to see more books for children about the Indian culture.
I was excited to find familiar foods in here, not being indian and with India such a large country I was excited to find samosas, idli, panneer. naan, and jebli (sp?) all of which I have made. I'm eager to introduce my little one and myself to the rest of the foods included. The pictures are eyecatching and colorful.
We just love this book series, my kids have adored these books since they were about a year old. We're now buying a second set for a friend's baby shower. They're a great gift to buy for others as they're a little more unusual and it's unlikely someone else will show up with the same thing.My kids also happily eat almost anything these days and I certainly think it helps that no food was too foreign to them thanks to this series!
This is one of our household favorites from the "World Snacks" board book series. Other favorites include the dimsum book and the first book of sushi. Colorful collage illustrations and catchy rhyming text. This is in my toddler's top ten most requested bedtime stories. It also made a great gift for my yoga instructor who recently had a baby.
My 19 month old daughter loves this series. And unlike a lot of other toddler books out there, I feel like I'm learning something from them too. Like the older books, the illustrations are rich and interesting and the dialogue keeps her attention. Unlike the older books, this one has a back glossary which gives both pronounciation and explanations for the food -- something doubly helpful for me.
I love these books! The rhyming makes the books flow nicely. My daughter loves that. They are informative and fun. The book is sturdy ( board book) so it holds up nicely to a toddler throwing it around.
This book is great for introducing and reinforcing Indian food and culture to children. The artwork/style of the pictures looks to be paper collage. The food in the book or not real/realistic. However, many foods are incorporated as a point of discussion. Our daughter, who has lots of Indian food, can recognize all of these foods in the book based on their presentation.
Chaat and Sweets--as well as the other books in this series--features both unique artwork and a simple introduction to foods that may be unfamiliar to most young kids. This is definitely a book to consider when you wish to encourage your child to explore new cuisine and cultures.
