A charming history of food with lovable characters and cute art! I love that it doesn't just focus on a western perspective, as well as acknowledging some of the less savory aspects of food history. Overall a great read for kids!
The first volume was good, but it's really starting to slow down, and not in a pleasant way. I hope it can do something more interesting down the line.
It's a mixed bag. I really appreciate the approach of radical simplicity. Most of the main useful lessons in the book can be boiled down to “make it easy, make it simple, even if you don't like it.” A lot of the advice is aimed towards parents of ADHD kids, which isn't great, but I appreciate how much of that advice is telling the parent that the problem is with the system (as in the system you're using to keep the house clean/organize things), not with the kid. Unfortunately, the book still falls into the common problems that come up in the genre of “book for neurodivergent people written by a neurotypical person”, but I feel that there's enough good advice to still be useful for people with ADHD and still a recommended read.
Great story. It feels like furry media despite featuring no furry characters, and is almost certainly trans media.
A bit outdated and not relevant to the current year, but still has useful bits of information.
