Delicious! is a collection of poems celebrating foods from around the world. Each poem is simple and sweet, just enough to give the reader a tiny taste of the culture represented. The delicacies range from common foods that most kids will recognize to more exotic fare. At the back of the book, the author also shares a little more information about the street foods of each country. The illustrations each show colorfully patterned motifs that frame children enjoying the foods in question. This book is sure to tempt your taste buds!

Very short poems about different kinds of street food from around the world. The illustrations were as fun as the poems. I would have liked the back matter to be consistent when explaining foods.

A book of fun pictures and poems about interesting food. I like how there is further explanations about the food in the back of the book.

It's certainly a choice, when celebrating street food around the world, to highlight oranges from Israel rather than falafel from Palestine.
