New York Times - Looking very contemporary in an old-time way, the visually striking “Everyone Eats!” feels like the kind of book you’d pick up at an organic children’s clothing store. Simple sentences (“Rabbits eat carrots,” “Bears eat honey,” etc.) are paired with charming painted-on-wood – or digitally drawn to look that way – illustrations. Touches of wit and hints at magic permeate what is otherwise a straightforward guide to healthful eating. A foursome of bright pink pigs forage for red polka-dotted toadstools that look like something out of an enchanted forest. On the opposite page, a plate of mushroom-topped pasta is accompanied by a can of mushroom soup and the simple phrase, “Pigs eat mushrooms.” A horse sniffs at red apples growing from a blue-tinged tree. It’s better than hay.
"A simple board-book catalog of the foods eaten by both animals and
humans. Each spread features an animal eating a favorite item on one side, a sentence
explaining this in a blocky font on the other, and an image of how people
prepare and eat this foodstuff hovering above the text. For example, in one
illustration, a bear climbs a tree toward a beehive. This picture is paired
with the simple sentence: "Bears eat honey." Above this phrase is a spot image
of a Winnie-the-Pooh–like honey pot and a honey dipper. The last spread
features a young girl, who appears on the cover and on one previous interior
page, eating all the foods mentioned previously while her animal co-stars look
longingly at the repast. Some of the animal food/human food connections may be
a little abstract for youngsters ("Mice eat seeds" is paired with an image of
seed-encrusted crackers), but the spare text will hopefully encourage adult
readers to fill in the blanks for their youngsters. Kuo, a talent to watch,
paints on blond wood, and this adds a natural warmth to her appealingly dainty
animals and landscapes.
Although slightly too abstract in concept in some instances, the art is a feast
for the eyes. (Board book. 2-4)" - Kirkus
