Amazon.com:
Imagine a lamb with a cauliflower body. A baby mouse made of radishes. A yellow-pepper bunny and a lemon bear cub. Yes, Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers–the creators of How Are You Peeling?, Dog Food, and more–are back, this time constructing baby animals out of fruits and vegetables. Each page features a crisp photograph of an adorable baby creature creatively crafted from produce, contrasted with a bold, solid-color backdrop, and identified by name (puppy, kitten, baby alligator, etc.). Children will learn the unusual names of various baby animals (kangaroo joey, seal pup, spiderling, owlet) while they’re giggling at the notion of an onion kitten or potato duckling. You’d have to be made of a very hard vegetable indeed to deny the charms of a tiny peanut owl or a kiwi monkey. Irresistible! (Baby to preschool) –Karin Snelson
Book Description:
A menagerie of animals decorate the gloriously colored pages of BABY FOOD. Animals ingeniously carved and cut from a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables, of course–what else would you expect from the talented Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers, who brought us HOW ARE YOU PEELING?! A Chinese eggplant becomes a little penguin and a red pepper transforms into a baby hippo. A turnip becomes a baby duck and a cauliflower a sheep.Parents, babies, and new moms and pops will love to share these animal babies! They make great winter holiday and Easter gifts for grown-ups too.

A Review of “Baby Food” by Pam T
This might be (as suggested by another reviewer) a cute book for a baby shower but it didn’t rate highly with my 3 and 5 year olds.
First it didn’t have a story, and second, 3 and 5 year olds are not as attracted by ‘cute’ pictures as older children and adults. We looked at the book once and then put it in the ‘back to the library’ stack.
It might be better for older babies and toddlers who could learn something about identifying fruit, but there is plenty of competition that will keep their attention longer.
Two Stars. Cute concept, but it didn’t make the cut to become a permanent member of our bookshelves. There are just too many other better choices (ones with a story or educational value) on which to spend our money.
“Baby chicks are singing…” by C. Lively
What a sweet book. This would be a great way to announce the excitement of a new baby! The animals are very cute. Personally, not as exciting as some of the other books of it’s kind. Still a great book to have in your collection.
Daughter is addicted to this book! by C. Wolf
My 14 mo. old ADORES this book. It’s the only one she really wants to read, and she would flip through it for hours at a time if we let her. She loves it so much, we have to hide it from her sometimes so we can get her to go to sleep at night. Wonderful, wonderful book!
Such a clever book! by Katie C. Nelson
We love the entire series of these food books. The photography is so well done and the idea of turning food objects into animals is so clever. My daughter has loved this book for several years now and it is a treasure to her. I truly enjoy looking at it with her because it is so creatively done.
