review 1: This book would be better titled _Yum-Yum Bento Box: ALL YOUR FOOD NEEDS FACES_. Special occasion food? Okay! Some of these recipes and... setups? would be great little snacks for a kids' party, but I have a very hard time seeing myself embellishing food this way. I'd rather practice my sushi-rolling skills than coloring rice or artfully slicing bologna into octopuses. I also found the five pages of tools and accessories to be a little overwhelming.
review 2: I'm familiar with Bento and expected to see 12 ingredients used in tiny amounts and arranged in an artistic way. Completely expected that. What I was expected was something besides colored rice and pieces of nori. This book was more of a design manual that a recipe idea, which is fine...just not what I exp
... moreected. I thought this book would include a wider variety of food and give me ideas of healthy lunches to pack for school. Instead, it's little snacks with pink rice, 2 pieces of cheese, a raisin, a noodle and some carrots. If you need help making a face out of nori, this is the book for you. If not, another book would be a better choice. less

Lunches too cute to eat! Who has time for this kind of intricate detail in their children's lunch?

Certainly fun to look at, but more difficult than I hoped. Who has quail eggs on hand?!
