Customer Reviews

Our favorite.

My boys have no more favorite book than this. The outrageous illustrations are well-matched to the clever story-line, a modern rendition of an age-old Japanese fable. No reader would be disappointed.

we're STILL dancing!

Tonight I was washing the dishes and my daughter suddenly started chanting "chin chin jara jara"; it made me want to grab a box of coins and start to dance! This book has a wonderful message of caring about and respecting others. It also is entertaining for children so they'll sit still and actually LISTEN to the wonderful message. Yoshi's Feast is a sumptuously illustrated, high quality picture book that I recommend without reservation.

Great story, beautifully illustrated

My 5-year-old daughter loves this book. The story is apparently based on a Japanese classic. It should be especially appealing for anyone who likes unagi (eel).

Another DK Ink Masterpiece!

This book is a must buy! Perfect for reading aloud. I can't wait to share this with my second graders next year! I purchased an autographed copy at my local Borders tonite and couldn't wait to get on here and "plug" this picturebook! Reminding me a bit of Demi's picturebooks (ie., The Empty Pot), this book has more! The onomatopoeia throughout the lively text really lends itself to reading aloud! The illustrations work very well with the text! Another Melanie Kroupa masterpiece! (see Steamboat, The Big Cheese)Outstanding literature! Even the author's bio on the dust jacket flap is interesting!

Absolutely beautiful and fun book!

My 2 1/2 year old daughter is part Japanese and I love it when I can find a beautifully illustrated book about that country and its customs. This book is funny as well as a feast for the eyes. She really loves the "sounds" that the coins make and the funny folk tale.
