Rice & Rocks looked so beautiful that I just couldn't resist a copy when it was sent my way. I was a little nervous, since I hadn't reviewed a children's book before, but why not start?

Guys, if you have kids, put this on your buy list right away! The art, by Megan Kayleigh Sullivan, is stunning. STUN-NING. Your littles are going to love pointing out everything on the pagesâthe puppies and the big gray bird. But it's the story that really will get you. It's going to spark a lot of conversations, positive ones, within your family. It's multi-cultural, tying several families together across the world, and then bringing it home to an American home for Sunday dinner.

We've all eaten rice and rocks at some pointâand how fun would it be to read this, and then make the dish for supper that night? Sounds like a pretty great activity to me! I might have to put ketchup on it for one of my nephews, but it might be fun to try.
