"When I eat dinner, my mom and dad say, 'Let's thank the Lord for our food today.' And I would...but what I want to know, please, is what does God have to do with my macaroni and cheese?" This book gives a thoughtful answer in an engaging rhyme that encourages thankfulness, not only to God, but to everyone who helps bring food to our tables.
"We just read this book today, and it got my daughter's attention and kept it until the end of the book. I like the way it uses food that toddlers are normally crazy about and uses it to talk about God. I bought this for our toddler department at church, and I can't wait to read it to our beginner choir!"
"I've read this book to my grandkids over and over again. Now that they're able to read, they still pick it up and read it themselves. I always read it to children of friends who visit us and often give the book as a gift. Delightful poetry with a real message of Who to thank for our food -- 'especially for hot dogs and peas and my most favorite dish, macaroni and cheese!'"
"Macaroni and Cheese, Hot Dogs and Peas by Christine Hickson is a fun and cute way to help kids understand why we say grace and thank God for our food."
