What about books about food for adults? A minor passion of mine.

I think Iris is going to love Arnie the Doughnut especially. We have another book with similar artwork called Stop That Pickle, about a pickle who gets away and it hunted down by various other foods including 17 toasted almonds. I'm not sure how I forgot to mention that book in the original post.</p> Melissa, I’d never heard of most of your recommendations, which is great.

Is Iris too young for Steingarten … It must have been something I ate has so many funny food things - and we have been reading it aloud to a slightly older set of kids … food for thought!

Quite memorable even after many years. While it is aimed at older children than preschoolers, it might be a fun book to read outloud.</p> Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder has long descriptive passages of food that fill the life of the boy growing up on a farm - with descriptions of cutting ice in the winter to keep in the icehouse for the summer lemonade, and lists of the meals that the farmers eat.

Peter Rabbit has some good eating.

Note that Cloudy With a Chance… has some very scary pictures, up there with images of the Wicked Witch of the West, such as the picture of people with clothespins on their noses during the gorgonzola cheese storm.
