A variety of picture book authors contributed to this book, each with a two page spread illustration of their favorite food and a description of the food. Some of the descriptions are in paragraph form and some in poetry. The types of food range from cake to ramen noodles. 

The strength of this book is in its potential to spur young readers to become writers. It would be an easy jump from reading this book to students writing their own favorite food passages and illustrating those same passages.
