First Book of Sushi

Amy Wilson Sanger. Tricycle Press, $6.99 (20pp) ISBN 978-1-58246-050-5

Tricycle Press kicks off a new series called World Snacks with First Book of Sushi by Amy Wilson Sanger. A simple rhyming text demonstrates the different kinds of sushi children can eat: ""I'll take yellowtail hamachi/ and a red maguro slice./ Big, BIG futomaki/ has so many grains of rice!"" A pronunciation guide would have been helpful for novice diners, but the bright collage illustrations help to identify the menu items. (Sept.)
