The latest in the Freymann/Elffers food books presents a puppy carved from a banana, a kitten from two white onions, a whale calf from an eggplant, and so on. The layout is pleasingly crisp and uncluttered, with only one (occasionally two) adorable edible baby animal(s) per page, making the captioned photos accessible to young children as well as those old enough to marvel at the illustrators' craft.
