A Wonderful Five Star Review of
"What's for Dinner?"
By Jill Siegel on February 8, 2016
WHAT’S
FOR DINNER? is a very sweet book by Penelope Anne Cole with delicate,
tender illustrations by Samantha S. Bell. The story and illustrations
complement each other well. When Katy is invited to her friend Amaeka’s
house for dinner, she’s not sure what to expect. She thinks that
Amaeka’s family will share Nigerian cuisine with her and she’s never
tried it before… I love how this story encourages children to try
different cuisines and open themselves up to learning about different
traditions and cultures. I’ve read several of Penelope Anne Cole’s
books and I truly appreciate how her books foster compassion and
understanding. The end matter includes recipes, a map of Nigeria, and
website links.
