First of all I was surprised of the size of this book. I didn't expect it to be that big . I love the fact that it's a hardcover book too . The book itself is of a great quality. The cover illustrations are nice and inviting. This book would be brilliant as a birthday gift or Christmas present to someone that loves reading and food . It would be suitable for older kids ,teens and even adults. My 6 years old boy truly enjoyed reading this book and looking at all the illustrations. You get a bit of information about quite few countries around the world as well as some info about the food there and even an easy recipes to try yourself at home . It's a great way to teach youngsters about new cultures and introduce them to new exciting food . This is a really interesting book that I enjoyed reading too. The illustrations through the book are good and I've learned a lot new information which I would treasure forever.
