A love letter? A yummy treat? A fun fold-out alphabet poster? YES! Joyce Wan’s Be My Yummy ABC is ALL THREE! This cozy picture book takes little readers on a delicious journey from A to Z, featuring sweet and savory bites from around the world:

My warm APPLE PIE just you and me; 

My BURRITO baby snug as can be.

My twirly, curly CRÊPE supreme;

My swirly, whirly DOSA dream.

The sparkly cover unfolds into a colorful alphabet poster featuring all the cutie food characters—perfect for decorating a reading nook, child’s bedroom, office, or classroom.



This alphabetically arranged feast is followed up with backmatter that lists each food’s pronunciation, its country of origin, and a brief description.



This is one new alphabet book that small kids will simply eat up! Beloved picture book creator Joyce Wan has cooked up a list of yummy foods from A to Z and brought them to life with cute faces and fun rhymes. It’s an international smorgasbord of foods from more than fifteen different countries, each with a loving “BE MINE” message. Be My Yummy ABC celebrates the joy of exploring the world, one bite at a time.
