i can smell the spices

the illustrations in this book are so real and true to form that you can actually "smell" the spices. the colors are wonderful and each page is just packed with delight!

For the food wizard in all of us...

Never has an alphabet book bridged the gap between the adults' world and the children's world as well as this! For children learning letters, the illustrations of the various spices are a backdrop, but for the adults the reverse has occurred. To see spices categorized by alphabet and shown off in vivid illustrations brings cooking home for all of us who remember the smells of a warm kitchen.Buy this for any child of any age to whom you want to introduce the world of letters, of colors, of spices, of cooking. Be prepared for the appetite it will bring on!
