In her sixth book in the World Snacks series, Wilson Sanger pays tribute to dishes from the Italian table. From hearty minestrone and risotto stirred and stirred with heart to sweet, cool gelato, Mangia! Mangia! Introduces young tummies to tasty treats from the land of linguini. Rhyming text and colorful collage art show that there's much more to Italian food than spaghetti! The back cover features a glossary of Italian terms used in the book.

Great series. I love the idea of introducing language to children, via the storytelling medium of food, but I found an error: "Salud." It is a toast to good health, but in Spanish. This book's focus is Italian. The correct exclamation would therefore be "Salute!"
This book is awesome! I got it for my niece for her 2nd birthday, and she loves when my mom (her Nana) reads it to her! Being Italian-American it is really important for us to keep our heritage strong!
With a 3.5 year old who loves reading, my wife and I have gone through many, many books for children and we really enjoy these books by Amy Wilson Sanger. She has a series of books all about foods from various cultures. Being Chinese, I enjoyed her "Yum Yum Dim Sum" book as it brought back memories from my childhood. Because my wife is not Chinese, our diet is quite a blend from multiple cultures. We love exposing my son to different foods and thankfully he enjoys them. It's especially fun when he's able to recognize food items we've seen in these books as his excitement adds to his enjoyment. Recently, our Italian friends who are expecting a child were moving away. While it's not much, this was a great gift to buy for them as they start their library for their soon-to-be Italian princess.
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.
I teach a toddler classroom at a daycare and my kids really enjoyed hearing about all the fun Italian foods, when we finished reading together many enjoyed getting the chance to flip through the pages and appreciate the clever illustrations on their own.
If you are a foodie and want to share your love of food with you little one these books are perfect. The art is a mix of paper cutouts and found objects and the rhyming story is very cute. You'll be repeating things like "Hola Jalapeno" to your little one with glee! I just wish this author would put out more of this series of books.
This is the 3rd book I have acquired in this series; I also have Yum, Yum, Dim Sum and the First Book of Sushi. They are all very cute books that spark an interest in different cuisines. This one is perhaps my least favorite of the 3 I have--although my son (15 months) seems to like them all fine, but it is still a worthy addition.
This entire series is fantastic, especially if you want to introduce your kid to ethnic cuisines. The artwork is great--colorful collage--and so are the rhyming words. A must have for foodie parents!
