ISBN 0694015776 - The first time you come across a play-with-your-food book, you think it's kinda cool, unique, fun... and then you come across another, and another and it ought to wear thin - but it really doesn't. First, the books aren't for you, they're for your kid, and young kids will always think playing their food is grand entertainment.

Froot Loops Color Fun Book isn't what it sounds like. There's no coloring, but there IS fun! Toucan Sam glides through the jungle, looking for Froot Loops. Each page is dedicated to one color and each page has a small cut-out, the size of a cereal ring. The idea would be, it seems, to match your Froot Loop to the right color page.

Because this book is just a little educational, it earns a five star rating from me. Sure, playing with your food is fun, but learning your colors from Toucan Sam is cool, too. The thick board book pages will take whatever your little eater/reader can dish out. Frank Mazzola's illustrations are nice but earn an extra kudo from me for actually making the Froot Loops nearly blend in. Yep, fun, educational and yummy!
