*What’s Your Favorite Food?* by Eric Carle is an informative and lighthearted audiobook that brings together a variety of narrators who share their favorite foods. What makes this title especially unique is its celebration of diverse foods from different cultures and ethnicities, introducing listeners to dishes they might not have encountered before. Many of the foods are described with interesting details about how they are harvested or prepared, adding an educational layer that made me learn a few new things myself.

This book is a wonderful choice for any child who enjoys eating, cooking, or exploring the world through food. It encourages curiosity about different cultures and promotes appreciation for global diversity in a fun and engaging way. The lively narration keeps the energy high, making it a joy to listen to from start to finish. I would rate this audiobook 4 out of 5 stars. I received an advanced listener copy from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio, and I thank them for the opportunity to enjoy this delightful title.

I love this series of books by Eric Carle and friends.

This audiobook is a wonderful complement to the picture book. I enjoyed the music that was softly added to the background.
My one disappointment was that it was not the illustrators in their own voices sharing about their favorite food.
However, this audiobook was nicely done and is a great way for young readers to add to the ways in which they engage with books and stories.

Thank you to Eric Carle, friends, and Macmillan Audio for granting me an eARC through NetGalley.

Eric Carle, includes a delightful cast of famous children's book illustrators as they share their favorite foods celebrating the joy of eating. Some illustrators such as Lucy Cousins, known for the "Maisy" series, just loves avocados. Tommie dePaola author and illustrator of "Strega Nonna" fondly recalls pasta from his Italian heritage, and Lane Smith of "The Stinky Cheese Man" fame, enjoys the messy fun of eating BBQ ribs . Together, these personal stories create a warm, joyful celebration of food, family, and culture inviting readers of all ages to reflect on their own favorite meals and the memories that make them special.
Thank you NetGalley, Eric Carle, and friends, and Macmillian Publishers for the advance readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

What's your favorite food? is such a cute book. If you like Eric Carle this audiobook won't disappoint. I loved the music too.

The book is written and illustrated by Eric Carle and Friends. Each person presents their favorite food and writes a few words about it. I love the book is narrated by each person telling their story. The voices of the narrators are so pleasant.

I can see many children sitting aroud at the Library or school. It is a great book to have kids in on the discussion and tell everyone what their favorite food is.

Thank you NetGallery and Macmillin Audio for presenting me with an ARC.

My children and I really enjoyed this 10-15 minute audiobook. There are 2 readers who tell narratives of several different people's favorite foods. There are little stories about each, some longer than others. My children and I especially loved the french fry portion. I imagine the illustrations are beautiful.
