Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Tricycle Press kicks off a new series called World Snacks with First Book of Sushi by Amy Wilson Sanger. A simple rhyming text demonstrates the different kinds of sushi children can eat: "I'll take yellowtail hamachi/ and a red maguro slice./ Big, BIG futomaki/ has so many grains of rice!" A pronunciation guide would have been helpful for novice diners, but the bright collage illustrations help to identify the menu items. (Sept.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
Children's Literature
For those who enjoy sushi and who may wish to share that enjoyment with little ones, this board book fits the bill. However, it may challenge those unfamiliar with the words and ingredients. The illustrations are a delight, but kids may have trouble identifying a particular item. This board book really has more adult than child appeal, unless you are in a household that consumes lots of sushi. Tricycle Press, $6.95. Ages 3 to 6. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot

School Library Journal
PreS-A title for the trendy toddler set that starts out with tekka maki and ends with tobiko, flying fish roe, introducing other sushi in between. The text is rhythmic ("Miso in my sippy cup, tofu in my bowl. Crab and avocado fill my California roll"), and the textured, collage illustrations predominantly in red, black, yellow, and white are striking and vibrant. However, the subject matter and language will be too sophisticated for the intended audience. Japanese words such as hamachi, maguro, and futomaki fill the pages. The board-book format will discourage older readers, although adults may find the book amusing. The last line of text appears on the back of the book, which will lead to processing problems for libraries. This original idea doesn't cut the wasabi.-DeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library, CA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Read an Excerpt


Chapter One


I see take-out
tekka maki,

kappa maki
packed to go.

Temaki-style hand roll
with uni urchin roe.

Miso in my sippy cup;

tofu in my bowl:

Crab and avocado
     fill my California roll.

I'll take yellowtail hamachi

and a red maguro slice.

Big, BIG futomaki

has so many grains of rice!

Ikura, squishy salmon roe
like dabby dots of jelly,

    salty on my lips
and yummy in my belly!

    Egg tamago and
          shrimp ebi
dipped in soy sauce
           (not a lot).

Pink pickled ginger
    cools my tongue,
            Wasabi—
      hot, hot, HOT!


Tobiko, flying fishy roe
           flying from Japan.

    preschool cool

    I love that the author brings traditional ethnic foods to a preschool appropriate book. I use all 6 of her books in our 'mulitcultural' theme and we try some foods from each. I can't tell you how the children of each ethnic backgroud light up to see familiar foods in our book and on our menu!

    fun for all

    I was so delighted when I read this title that I now give it to every friend who has a baby. Everyone loves it! The parents like the unusual illustrations, and the little ones love the sound of the strange words. Whether they know sushi or not, all delight in this trip into something new.

    hysterical culinary silliness

    My children love this book. The graphics and layout are bold and colorful, and utterly imaginative. Even though my 3-year-old does not understand Japanese and won't touch sushi, she adores this book for its rhythms and seemingly silly words. This is one of her absolute favorites, and she can recite the whole book.

    Hotter than wasabi, cooler than pickled ginger

    Like the book says, "Someday I'll eat with chopsticks / But today just with my hands." Why should the preschool set be limited to hardened paper stock books with colors, shapes, letters, numbers and animal. Future Foodies need books like this. The graphics are bold and bright, and the rhymes are fun. With "miso in my sippy cup / tofu in my bowl", this book on your cribs will make for tickled ribs
