Here’s a fun list of read-alouds that you can combine with snack time! Children that love stories will enjoy this–but so will children that love to EAT!
This is a way to turn reading stories together into a cozy, memorable experience for your kiddos. And it’s so easy to do! I will be adding more to this list as we go, but here are a few to get started! Enjoy!! And be sure to leave a comment if there’s a book title you think I should add.

Elaine says

Thanks.
Heather Maxon says
May 22, 2020 at 11:36 pmThe Wonk Donky Book is our favorite read at the moment?
Angie says
May 22, 2020 at 11:48 pmLove this! These are some very cute ideas. Green eggs and ham was my childhood favorite. My dad used to read it to me when I was little and now he reads it to my three boys. So special.
Lori Goebel says
May 22, 2020 at 11:52 pmIf you give a mouse a cookie is another great one!
Jordan Ragan says
May 23, 2020 at 12:03 amGreat list — thank you!
Another idea: “Everyone Eats” by Julia Kuo 🙂
Lindsay Ulmer says
May 23, 2020 at 12:07 amLove this idea! Our favorite food themed book is Turk and Runt!
Christina says
May 23, 2020 at 12:26 amI loved the Amelia Badelia book where she makes a lemon meringue pie when I was young!
Ashley says
May 23, 2020 at 1:05 amVery hungry caterpillar, if you give a pig a pancake, Dragons love tacos (I haven’t read it but heard about it)
Erica says
May 23, 2020 at 1:27 amSuch a cute idea! Jamberry, Bee-bim Bop, and To Many Carrots are some of our favorite food themed books right now.
Rachel says
May 23, 2020 at 2:43 amWe love Chimpanzees for Tea, and my 3 year old sometimes recites the grocery list from it while I’m grocery shopping. ? I’ve thought it would be fun to have a ‘tea party’ with the things listed in the book!
Gina says
May 23, 2020 at 2:51 amWe really like the book How to make and apple pie and see the world.
Alicia says
May 23, 2020 at 2:53 amOne of our favorites to read is, ‘Groovy Joe; Ice Cream & Dinosaurs’… it would fit perfectly in your Ice cream category!
There’s also, ‘The sneaky, snacky squirrel,’ which is a lift the flap book to find acorns. So a acorn/nut themed category for all those who like salty snacks.
Megan (Choose Joy Christian Momma) says
May 23, 2020 at 2:54 amBasically all of the “If you give a…” books are perfect for this! If you give a cat a cupcake or if you give a mouse a brownie etc.
Tammi says
May 23, 2020 at 3:56 amYes!! Everything from Numeroff!! The best!!
Kaitlin says
May 23, 2020 at 3:42 amThe book Hello Lighthouse is a favorite right now. There’s not a food theme, but it’s beautifully illustrated and written and the supply ship always delivers pork and beans to the lighthouse keeper so I think that could fit!
Tammi says
May 23, 2020 at 4:05 amCloudy with a chance for meatballs. Bread and Jam for Frances. However, our very favorite is the series by Numeroff others have shared. If you give a mouse a cookie. If you give a moose a muffin. If you give a pig a pancake… I would warn/ask my kids from the time they were little “what happens if you give daddy __“ it made them laugh because my husband always follows up a drink request with a snack request! ??
Kindra E says
May 23, 2020 at 10:02 amGreen Eggs and Ham would be a great addition. I still remember when we read it in preschool and had green eggs and ham for a snack!
Ruth says
May 23, 2020 at 1:50 pmLove this! Another food-themed book I remember from my childhood is Strega Nona. But my daughter loved reading The Biggest Cookie in the World (a Cookie Monster easy reader) and making a giant chocolate chip cookie to go with it.

Alana says
May 23, 2020 at 3:42 pmSugar Cookies: Sweet Little Lessons on Love would be fun!
Taylor Walp says
May 23, 2020 at 4:28 pmCharlie the Ranch Dog is one of my class’s favorites. It would be a fun book to read while serving breakfast (even for lunch or dinner) because Charlie is known for saying, “Breakfast is life, especially when bacon is involved.” ??
Another good book for this activity is The Little Red Hen who makes bread and teaches a life lesson. Burro’s Tortillas has a similar storyline but with tortillas.
I love this idea! It’s such a good idea to get kiddos engaged.
Samantha says
May 23, 2020 at 5:51 pmI love this idea! You get to sneak in a story and reading to meal time. I think would be fun to add are Dragons Love Tacos, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, The Hungry Caterpillar, and The Little Red Hen. A fun soup book would be A Pot Of Stone Soup but you’d have to make sure they know not to eat rocks.. Winnie the Pooh usually has honey in its pages.
Mary says
May 23, 2020 at 7:58 pmTen Hungry Monsters is a really fun food-themed book that my kids love!!❤️
Amy Smith says
May 23, 2020 at 11:13 pmWe love “The Blue China Pitcher” (which talks about a tea party), “Make Me a Peanut Butter Sandwich and a glass of milk” (which talks about the behind the scenes production of one of our favorite lunches), and “Berenstein Bears and Too Much Junk Food” (with lots of healthy snacks!) 🙂
