Yum! MmMm! Que Rico!

Mora, Pat. Yum! MmMm! Que Rico!: America's Sproutings. Illus. Rafael Lopez. New York: Lee & Low Books, Inc., 2007.

I thought this book was absolutely outstanding. I think this is the first book we've read in which I was probably engaged as much as if not more than a young child would be. It is just so full of information!! Information about everyday foods that I hadn't even thought of. Like how chocolate use to be called bitter water. Were they crazy!? It must not have been as sweet back then. There is no way chocolate tastes like bitter water today, at least to me anways...

This is definately a book I would read to my preschoolers =)
