Customer Reviews

Excellent gift for a Jewish baby

We received this book as a gift after our daughter was born. At first, only we understood the cute rhymes. Now our daughter is old enough to recognize many of the foods and understand the book. It's so nice to see our family's traditional foods reflected in a children's book.

Another good one!

My kids have all of Amy Wilson Sanger's books. This one is probably their least favorite, though it's still good. Part of it may be my fault - I am not at all familiar with this food and so hesitate a little more over the words and don't get a good rhythm going. If you know your Jewish food, you probably would enjoy this just as much as the others. The pictures are still wonderful!As another reviewer mentioned, while this one has the definitions on the back, there is no pronunciation guide, and that is too bad for me, personally. All in all, this is still a wonderful kids book - more fun than most others out there - but not the best of this author's work.

Another Wonderful "Food" Book

We love the third book in Sanger's food series. Although we definitely prefer the other two, this book amuses us as well, even though we weren't too sure what some of the food was. I personally wish the author would have included a pronunciation guide to the food like in Hola Jalapeño as well as the included translations. But all in all, this is another fun book, right in step with First Book of Sushi and Hola Jalapeño. Another must have for your child's library.

We call this "the bagel book"

My 2 and a half year old twins LOVE this book and ask for it by name! They bring it to me again and again and ask for me to read them "the bagel book". We love it!

Obey your tummy. Let your eyes Nosh on this book

I liked her earlier Sushi book; and although the rhymes seemed better with Sushi, I like this new book even more. I bought several copies to use a small gifts. With the unique cutout collage graphics, and a fabric bagel and challah, the reader is introduced to several fun and colorful noshes, including floating matzoh balls on a red checkerboard tablecloth, and chopped liver on dark rye on a blue check tablecloth. There's a fancy schmancy kugel with your orange sippy cup, and a mish moshed gefilte fish with carrots on a tray. So put down your kasha knish and gefilte fish, light your Friday night candle light, and buy this book for a lite bite.
