“A standout…Some picture books cry out to be shared, and this is a prime example. Teachers will enjoy reading it aloud during units on feelings, while kids will want to show it to friends and family. From cover to cover,
great fun.” ~~Booklist
Design: The design uses actual food to create the edible art work.
“Though the concept is simple, the intricacies of each face
beg for closer examination, and readers might find themselves transfixed in
wonder at the fantastical creations.... A visually delightful experience."
~~Kirkus
Style: The name, Meshuggah Food Faces translates into Crazy Food Faces, a great title for the book. There are quite a few crazy food faces, such as Albert
Pinestein, and cousin Yetta the Yenta.
“Engaging…fresh….A playful addition recommended for libraries that serve young children.”
