A Moose Boosh: A Few Choice Words About Food

**Where there is food, there will be laughter (and crumbs).** In more than 40 exuberant poems and "vandalized" photographs, you'll meet a city kid who fantasizes about farming on a stoop, a girl with crumpets and crêpes in her head, and a boy with a pet cabbage. "Doctor Food" prescribes good food as medicine and "Dancing Kitchen" will have you shimmying with your skillet. From the amuse-bouche to the very last pea on the plate, *A Moose Boosh* celebrates food—growing it, making it, slurping it and especially sharing it with loved ones at the dinner table. Bon appétit! **Poetry is food for the soul, food is poetry for the tongue.** Food writer Michael Pollan calls *A Moose Boosh* a "very funny book" while *Kirkus Reviews* says it is "a kid-friendly companion to Michael Pollan's *Food Rules.*" The American Library Association named the book a 2015 Notable Children's Book and says "Readers and eaters are taken on a comical romp through the world of food using poetry and a visual feast of photographs enhanced with playful doodles." Eric-Shabazz Larkin made his author/illustrator debut with *A Moose Boosh*. He made his picture book illustration debut with *Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table*.
