Feast for 10 by Cathryn Falwell 2008
The preparations for a festive meal begin at the grocery store. The shopping cart fills up fast with contributions from each child in the family. Ingredients for a delicious feast multiply in this counting book with rhyming text. The children help during each step of the process, except the baby who fell asleep on the ride home.
The importance of every family member is apparent as ten hands work together. There is a feeling of cozy warmth in the cut-paper illustrations by Falwell. This book reminds us that being together as a family brings much joy.
Appropriate for ages 3-6

Dear Jenni,
Thank you so much! I made this book when my own children were small --I only have two, though--and a trip to the grocery store was a great time for counting, finding colors, and choosing healthy foods. They are now 22 and 25, and both enjoy cooking.
Your blog site is great. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for books and reading!
Here's my new book, MYSTERY VINE: http://mysteryvine.blogspot.com/
Best wishes,
Cathryn
