Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
The food-becomes-animal mavericks who brought you the popular Dog Food and How Are You Peeling? carve another delicious charmer with this adorably inspired spin on babies.

Using their technique of transforming fruits and vegetables into cute infants, Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers have created a treasure full of puppies, kittens, baby giraffes, and more. Vividly colored backgrounds and simple designs showcase the trove of babies, such as a cauliflower lamb looking innocent and curious and a sweet-potato baby alligator putting its head down with a wide grin and bright eyes. Other babies include a surprised baby hippo, a wee radish mouse, a peanut owlet, and a kiwi baby monkey, but the most impressive baby is the peachy human toddler at the end, crawling along happily and smiling broadly.

A marvelous addition to their (already) super-sweet work, Baby Food will touch your inner soft spot and leave you totally cooing for more. Joost and Elffers's creations are just the thing for learning basic words and animals, making object learning a pure treat for kids and a breezy, amusing read for adults. With this cornucopia of critters tickling your fancy, you'll surely do a double take the next time you're in the produce aisle. Matt Warner

Publishers Weekly
Fans of the team behind How Are You Peeling? (about which PW wrote, "Photos of scowling oranges and gregarious scallions garnish this garden of delights") will welcome the board book editions of Dog Food and Baby Food by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers. Ingeniously carved peppers, potatoes and pears contrast "good dog" with "bad dog" and "top dog" with "underdog," while wide-eyed sculpted sweet potatoes and scallions emerge as baby alligators and armadillo pups. A pair to prize. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature
I have to admit, the creativity of Saxton Freymann is really amazing. How he can take ordinary fruits and vegetables and turn them into recognizable animals and even add a bit of personality demonstrates real talent. In this board book, pears, radishes, potatoes, lemons, peanuts, and much more are turned into baby animals. All are wonderfully featured on solid color backgrounds. The orange pig seems to be staring right out at the reader. The peanut owlet is looking askance at the joey, who in turn is looking apprehensive in his mother's pouch. Parents, teachers, and kids should have a lot of fun with this book. Art teachers may even use it to challenge older students to come up with creations of their own. This is a board book that can really be enjoyed over and over, because it is truly a tasty treat. 2006, Arthur A. Levine Books/Scholastic, Ages 2 to 6.
—Marilyn Courtot
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 3-Freymann and Elffers return with more whimsical fruit and vegetable creatures. This time they depict a variety of baby animals from the familiar chick, duckling, and kitten to the more unusual seal and armadillo pups. Of course the book's real fascination lies in the authors' ability to carry off such transformations as a radish into a spiderling and an eggplant into a whale calf. The clean layout with clearly labeled animals positioned against bright, colorful backgrounds enhances the visual appeal. Older children may want to try their hand at their own creations. While not an essential purchase, this book encourages readers to view familiar objects in new ways-and it's very funny.-Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

    It's different

    I honestly think that this book is fresh and interesting. My husband thinks it is a little creepy. We received this book as a gift a couple of years ago for our oldest daughter and I found it to be a great way to teach her the names of baby animals and to also recognize objects in different forms. I have now given it reapeatedly as a gift to friends. It tends to be one that will not be reapeated by others and tends to spark conversation.
