Everybody Eats Lunch by Cricket Azima is one part cookbook, one part toy and one part adventure with children from around the world. This one of a kind cookbook is for kids ages 3 to 8 years, but is fun reading for adults as well!

What do YOU eat for lunch? Where do you eat lunch? Who makes your favorite lunch foods? Make friends from around the world and discover their lunchtime cultures and recipes. Prepare delicious and nutritionally balanced dishes that you can include in your lunchbox too!

This engaging cookbook explores culture and ethnic lunch foods in a totally creative way. Each page is devoted to a different country, featuring colorful removable images of the food. Underneath each removable puzzle piece is a recipe for the international dish featured.

Printed on heavy-duty board for years of use. Younger children can play with the lunchbox shaped book and the removable puzzle pieces, while older children learn layers of educational content such as social studies, geography, math, nutrition, languages, and telling time.
