âThis book is adorable and very simple for little ones to follow. I really love the diverse children in the illustrations and . . . I also like the super positive tone of this book and that it focuses on positive reinforcement.â
âHeinlen creates contrast and dimension with eye-catching patterns on wallpaper, dishes, and the charactersâ clothing. The affirming message about trying at least âone bite,â using a napkin, and clearing your plate should sit easily with readers.â
