The
ABC Book of Food
written by Helen Martn, Judith Simpson and Cheryl Orsini (ABC Books) HBK RRP $24.99 ISBN 9780733334269
Reviewed by Sharon McGuinness
This is another useful non-fiction title
in the series by this trio, which takes children on a journey to show them from
a young age, the origin of the food they eat.
The book not only highlights food
origins but introduces children to facts that some foods make people ill,
thereby ‘normalising’ food intolerance issues and helping children to understand.
Mentioning farmer’s markets and kitchen
gardens also shows adults’ interest in knowing and understanding where their
food comes from and how it is produced.
Cheryl Orsini’s retro style
illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to the text, enabling so much more
to be said without the weight of words.
The book is great to share at home and
in the classroom, and would suit children aged 3 years and older.
