Feast for 10 Cathryn Falwell 4.05 841 ratings147 reviews A counting book that features an African-American family shopping for food, preparing dinner, and sitting down to eat. Joy Fleishhacker, New York Public LibraryĬopyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. Still, this is an appealing glance at a typical extended family. At times, however, facial features seem slightly stilted and relentlessly cheerful. Most of the figures, especially the baby girl with her rounded limbs and bouncing braids, are animated and expressive. Muted colors and simple shapes are set off by a stark white background. Collage illustrations combine colored paper, patterned fabrics, and felt in a clear, uncluttered design. The successful rhyme scheme builds a natural rhythm that helps the simple text read smoothly. Back at home, the father joins in the preparations and the numbers build a second time to 'ten hungry folks' seated around a table ready to share a tasty meal of fried chicken and greens.

At the supermarket, the count begins with one grocery cart and ends with ten hands helping to load the car. PreSchool-K- In this rhyming counting book, an African-American mother and her children shop for and prepare a festive family dinner.
