PreS—In this jazzy little board book, each page denotes someone (or something) eating, e.g., "A spoonful for THE CAT!/A spoonful for THE MAILMAN,/a spoonful for THE DOLL!" The die-cut pages are all focused on food consumption, and THE SUPERHERO and THE DINOSAUR provide some humor to rev up the repetition. Illustrations are done in pencil and digital art. The bright hues bleed off the page. A creative way to demonstrate to toddlers to open wide and enjoy a meal.—Anne Beier, Hendrick Hudson Free Library, Montrose, NY
