For older readers, a glossary of foods provides a bit more information about the different foods presented. Although toddlers tend to gravitate toward realistic pictures, the bright colors and appealing presentation will endear this book to them. The alphabet format combined with artistic constraints make for some interesting food choices: ugli fruit, jicama, and xigua are some less-familiar choices, presented right along with apples, bananas, and potatoes. Each fruit or vegetable is depicted in watercolor collage that is somewhat reminiscent of Eric Carle's style. Eating the Alphabet is a deliciously simple artistic presentation of many fruits and vegetables, organized by the letters of the alphabet.
