These strangely cool photos of food came to us through the ether and we just had to share them. Turns out they are from various childrens' books written and created by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann, all of which use creatures made from food to tell their stories.

I don’t understand why Japanese sushi restaurants sometimes put that green plastic thing on the sushi plate as decoration. My friend John thinks it looks like the dow jones ticker on a particularly up-and-down day.
Most of you would find it odd,
Lining up inside a pod.
But in fact it wouldn’t be,
If you were a baby pea.
Hush little mushies,
Lay your caps and heads
Gently on your cozy mushroom beds.
The loam’s soft and spongy,
The light’s right for fungi,
So hush little mushies, hush.
