Awhile ago I was on the prowl for books that would introduce new foods to my children since actually serving new foods is a sure-fire way to breed whiners around here.
I am happy to say we have moved past that stage of toddlerhood.

Mouse Went Out to Get a Snack is a fun tale following a mouse who raids a banquet table. It not only talks about different types of food (though some are not in a food group at all, like jelly beans) but because he adds one more of each new food to his plate making it a counting book as well.
By the time he's loaded his plate with delectable choices, children begin to see there's no way he'll be able to eat all of it or carry it back to his hole. The problem is exacerbated, too, by the background presence of a cat. In the end, mouse ends up with what he really wanted in the beginning: a snack.
