Where there is food, there will be laughter (and crumbs).
In more than 40 exuberant poems and "vandalized" photographs, you'll
meet a city kid who fantasizes about farming on a stoop, a girl with
crumpets and crêpes in her head, and a boy with a pet cabbage. "Doctor
Food" prescribes good food as medicine and "Dancing Kitchen" will have
you shimmying with your skillet. From the amuse-bouche to the very last
pea on the plate, A Moose Boosh celebrates food--growing it, making
it, slurping it and especially sharing it with loved ones at the dinner
table. Bon appétit!
Poetry is food for the soul, food is poetry for the tongue.
Food writer Michael Pollan calls A Moose Boosh a "very funny book"
while Kirkus Reviews says it is "a kid-friendly companion to Michael
Pollan's Food Rules." The American Library Association named the book
a 2015 Notable Children's Book and says "Readers and eaters are taken on
a comical romp through the world of food using poetry and a visual feast
of photographs enhanced with playful doodles."
Eric-Shabazz Larkin made his author/illustrator debut with A Moose
Boosh. He made his picture book illustration debut with Farmer Will
Allen and the Growing Table.
