Empty Fridge — Gaetan Doremus

A quirky picture book that taps into strong themes in children''s lives: the love of food and cooking, sharing, and the importance of good friends and neighbors

It seems everyone in Andrew''s building has been so busy during the day, they''ve forgotten to buy anything for dinner. Their fridges are all empty—well almost. With only three carrots to eat, Andrew decides to go upstairs to ask his neighbor Nabil if he''s got anything in his fridge. Nabil''s not doing much better: he only has two eggs and small piece of cheese. Together, they decide to try the family on the second floor. As they ascend each floor of their apartment building, they gather more ingredients from more neighbors until they reach the top floor and everyone finally has enough for a meal. But now the question is what to cook?
