 not have bitten and the drink that makes Alice’s trip to Wonderland poss
 ible to the feast gobbled by the very hungry little caterpillar in Eric 
 Carle’s now classic 1969 story and the nut that the mouse finally gets t
 o savour in Julia Donaldson’s contemporary classic The Gruffalo\, food h
 as long played a central role in children’s literature.\n\n“Tasting Chil
