Fairy Tale Feasts is more than collection of stories and recipes. In it, Caldecott-winning author Jane Yolen and her daughter, Heidi Stemple, imagine their readers as co-conspirators. About the creation of the stories and the history of the foods they share fun facts and anecdotes designed to encourage future cooks and storytellers to make up their own versions of the classics. From the earliest days of stories, when hunters told of their exploits around the campfire while gnawing on a leg of beast, to the era of kings in castles listening to the storyteller at the royal dinner feast, to the time of TV dinners when whole families sit for dinner in front of a screen to watch a movie, stories and eating have been close companions. So it is not unusual that folk stories are often about food. Jack's milk cow traded for beans, Snow White given a poisoned apple, a pancake running away from those who would eat it, Hansel and Gretel lured by the gingerbread house and its candy windows and doors. But there is something more- stories and recipes are both changeable. A storyteller never tells the same story twice, because every audience needs a slightly different story, depending upon the season or the time of day, the restlessness of the youngest listener, or how appropriate a tale is to what has just happened in the storyteller's world. And every cook knows that a recipe changes according to the time of day, the weather, the altitude, the number of grains in the level teaspoonful, the ingredients found (or not found) in the cupboard or refrigerator, even the cook's own feelings about the look of the batter.

Our stage one cards present babies with images of black-and-white fruits and vegetables that are perfect for newborns up to 6 months. After black and white, babies 6 to 12 months old begin to recognize yellow and red, and the cards in stage two feature these colors to help babies focus on their new discoveries. And finally, older babies 12 to 16 months can recognize blue, orange, and green, and these colors are featured in the foods, shapes, and patterns in the stage three cards that will get babies ready to continue their natural development. Our second set of SmartContrast Montessori Cards(R), Hello, Food, has been developed by the same creative team and artists behind our best-selling series of high-contrast books: Hello, Baby Animals; Hello, Garden Bugs; Hello, Ocean Friends; and Hello, My World, which have more than 200,000 copies in print and thousands of five-star reviews by parents who purchased online and in brick-and-mortar stores.
