Yummy Yucky (Leslie Patricelli board books) by Leslie Patricelli

This book has the baby to eat something different and noticed a delicious and watery. Most forms of each spread is a delicious food items identified as non-food items associated with food items, either through nature. (Eg, spaghetti worms) or name (such as apple pie, mud pie), which suggests that it is yucky. The book ends with a list of other things that are good to eat and which are not.

I shared this with my toddler class when we learned about the opposite. They absolutely loved this book to pay close attention to the whole thing and asked to read again all week. One of the children enjoyed the book so much that by the time she looked at her food, she said. "This is delicious," and pointed to the wall and said, "This is yucky" and continued in this vein. I'd definitely recommend this book to talk about, in contrast to very young children. It is also good to engage with children picky eaters. (Or who will eat anything!), Or those who just like the stupid book.
