Are You Hungry for a Good Book?

With Thanksgiving and the holidays fast approaching, our thoughts often turn to all the great food that we'll be eating.  That brings to mind some of my favorite books about food and eating for young children . . . .

Cupcake! by Charise Mericle Harper

Gator Gumbo by Candace Fleming

Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
