The Search for Delicious by Natalie Babbitt

5.0

"Natalie Babbitt . . . Babbitt . . .oh, Tuck Everlasting! I'm definitely going to check this one out!" That was my thought process in the library when I stumbled across The Search for Delicious." Side note: I think I have a weakness for books with "delicious" in the title . . .this is the second book in two months with that word in the title and I've devoured them both!! I have a very fond place in my heart for books by Natalie Babbitt. I loved Tuck Everlasting and I also loved The Search for Delicious. It was such a short, sweet, lovely story. I got swept away and read it in a day! Her characters' names are witty and the story mysterious enough to keep you captive through to the end. My personal opinion is that a truly "good" children's book is one that adults can enjoy as well as kids. I have two sons and I'm pretty choosy with what books I actually buy for them. This book is making it on the list for when they get older! I can't wait to read it to them or watch them read it for the first time. I really appreciate and enjoy that Babbitt has little jewels in her stories . . .nice reminders about what's important, even in a lighthearted little book! I hope you get a chance to read this one for yourselves or to your little one(s).

Summing it up: I loved this delightful little book and I absolutely recommend it!
