‘Did someone say cheese? Yes, please!’ From French Camembert to Greek Feta, this is nacho average trip around the world. Cheese is made and enjoyed by people from Europe to Asia, so it’s grate for bringing friends and family together. Whether it’s stinky Stilton, verdant Sage Derby or even silly string cheese, there’s something gouda in here for foodies of all ages.
Cheese! is the perfect second course after Felice Arena’s 2023 picture book, Pasta!. Readers aged three to seven will find it un-brie-lievable just how many different cheeses there are across the globe. Fun rhymes add a tasty layer to the text, especially when youngsters are reminded that they’re ‘never gloomy with a plate of fried Halloumi!’
Although this is a book about a food that is famously yellow, Cheese! is dripping in colour thanks to Beatrice Cerocchi’s vibrant illustrations. Delicious endpapers name the dairy delights that will make an appearance on the pages, while small eyes will relish seeking out the little mouse that is trying to nibble the cheese on every spread.
Whichever
way you slice it, Cheese! is the wheel deal. It’s a bright and
boisterous expedition through a creamy realm that is sure to leave kids hungry
for more.
