A Moose Boosh: A Few Choice Words about Food
Ilustrat de Eric Larkinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2014 – vârsta de la 10 până la 13 ani
Where there is food, there will be laughter (and crumbs).
In more than 40 exuberant poems and "vandalized" photographs, you’ll meet a city kid who fantasizes about farming on a stoop, a girl with crumpets and crêpes in her head, and a boy with a pet cabbage. "Doctor Food" prescribes good food as medicine and "Dancing Kitchen" will have you shimmying with your skillet. From the amuse-bouche to the very last pea on the plate, A Moose Boosh celebrates food—growing it, making it, slurping it and especially sharing it with loved ones at the dinner table. Bon appétit!
Poetry is food for the soul, food is poetry for the tongue.
Food writer Michael Pollan calls A Moose Boosh a "very funny book" while Kirkus Reviews says it is "a kid-friendly companion to Michael Pollan's Food Rules." The American Library Association named the book a 2015 Notable Children's Book and says "Readers and eaters are taken on a comical romp through the world of food using poetry and a visual feast of photographs enhanced with playful doodles."
Eric-Shabazz Larkin made his author/illustrator debut with A Moose Boosh. He made his picture book illustration debut with Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table.

Recenzii
• 2015 American Library Association Notable Children's Book
"Very funny book."
—Michael Pollan, author, Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, Food Rules
"Readers and eaters are taken on a comical romp through the world of food using poetry and a visual feast of photographs enhanced with playful doodles."
— 2015 American Library Association Notable Children's Book
"Varied in style and tone — much like food itself — the witty, quirky poems take on many different topics . . . This is a charming and original book that should start some quality conversation about food."
—School Library Journal
"In 40-plus energetic poems, Larkin celebrates the good and decries the bad in the food world. Though individual poems might seem like amuse-bouches by themselves, they add up to a full meal, and the volume as a whole serves up a lively conversation about food... [T]he overall effect of the poetry and the mixed-media, graffiti-style art (inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat) is exuberant: "Where there is food, there will be laughter (and crumbs)." A kid-friendly companion to Michael Pollan's Food Rules."
—Kirkus Reviews
“Larkin assembles more than 40 food-themed poems that range from the political to the personal, pairing them with photographs that have digital doodles superimposed on them. Several poems take aim at urban food deserts, fast food, or modified food… But Larkin doesn’t ignore the sillier or joyful side of food…and his sometimes whimsical, sometimes provocative artwork gives the poems added dimension and depth."
—Publishers Weekly

"What to talk about at the dinner table? Why how to eat Slippery Noodles, of course!
Twirl them, whirl them, slop them, slip them,
twist them, curl them, whip them, flip them,
sip them, slurp them, chew them, beat them.
But you must use your fork, when you eat them."

Extras
A Moose Boosh
So I said, "Sorry, sir, I did not order this...
this most peculiar dish."
"No," the waiter said. "It's an amuse-bouche,
compliments of the chef."
"Ah, well, that's very nice. So what's the compliment?"
"No, there is no compliment, just this tiny little dish."
"But I told you already that I did not order this."
"No, what I'm trying to say is that this is the chef's gift."
"Oh, I understand. My apology.
I just have one more question.
I don't mean to push,
but did you call this a Moose Boosh?"
"No, sir, it's a French word, a bit abstruse.
It's an mouse-bouche. And tasty, too."
A Desk Is Not A Dinner Table
You can eat dinner
at a round table
or a square table.
An oblong table
or a pear-shaped table.
But a desk,
is not a dinner table.
You can eat dinner at the beach
or eat it on a boat.
Eat with a bikini
or eat in a coat.
Eat upstairs.
Eat outside.
Eat feeling fat
or feeling thinner.
But a desk? No.
A desk is not a place for dinner.
Call it “food in face.”
Call it “stuffing belly.”
Call it the internet
with toast and jelly.
Dinner at a desk
needs a re-label.
Because a desk,
will never be a dinner table.
