Had a blast flipping through these pages with my three year old bonus son! We'd laugh, try to figure out the animal/fruit/vegetable, and even make up little stories about what was going on! Personally, the turtles were my favorite! A fun, fun "read"!

I like this book, but it’s a bad example of playing with your food!

A neat compilation of Freymann's food creations, especially for someone who isn't familiar with his other books. However, for those of us who are, there's a lot of repetition, and I thought that a lot of the images that I did not recognize were sub-par.

This wonderful book was a gift from a friend. Adorable, funny, delightful pictures of fruits and vegetables portrayed as animals, people, and other plants. My favorites are the tropical fish, and all the creative ideas with the stylish mushrooms! A picture book that will tickle your funny bone.

It's amazing what is done with foods. Fun to look at with little ones, but maybe more fun for mommy!

I was very disappointed to find that this book is all repeat pictures of the other books with no words. There's only so much looking at fruit made into faces that a person can take.

A fun book I saw at Fire Lake Elementary School's library with wonderful pictures of foods. I'd like to look at more of this author's books.

So creative! I used it as a time filler when students were taking restroom breaks at my summer camp. They loved it! They enjoyed figuring out what the foods in the pictures were.
