I looked at this book as the type caught my attention straight away, I like how the food has been incorporated into the type as it actually becomes the title of the book.

I looked at this image as the style is very bold with the bright colours, I think that this could be an effective style when designing the book for 8+ year olds.

Again I looked at this image as I really liked how the images was done black and white but the main part of the image is in colour and that was obviously what the artist wanted us to focus on, so in my book I could use this style by having only the images of the food in colour and everything else in black and white but hand rendered.

I looked at this book as the whole image caught my attention straight away, I think that this is a very effective page from a recipe book, and with the title and characters this makes it fun and friendly for children.

I looked at this book as the as the front cover was very bold and bright. I think that the simple title works and again with the simple illustrations as well.

I looked at this book as the as the subject of the book was very appealing to me, as not only does it look at British dishes it looks at dishes from around the world, which is great for kids to get a sense of different cultures.
