This is a folktale story that gives personification, or adds human qualities, to inadamant objects, or in this case, the food comes to life to tell their story of whom they are. The story is enhanced by the illustrations, or breathtaking works of art, and helps to develop each individual food as a character, which adds to the atmosphere of the story. It utilizes common, favorite foods in a fun and innovate manner, such as "Barb the brownie "who is nutty and weighed down with fudge. There are many different food characters that share their story, but there is no main plot, theme or setting. This book is phenomenal for the illustrations and has a great over all feel to the story. Jim Aylesworth has written many great children's literature, and his name was found on the text companion site.
