COMING SEPTEMBER 2010:
A fun, fact-filled book about what we eat!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Often, food is something that kids take for granted. For many, it simply shows up for them every day — thanks to their parents. But there is so much to know and understand about food. Why do we need to eat? Where does our food come from? Is there enough food for everyone? And are some food choices better than others? Award-winning author Jan Thornhill answers all these questions and more in Who Wants Pizza?
Using one of the most common foods that kids eat — pizza —as a jumping off point, and, using the same bold, graphic approach employed in I Found a Dead Bird and This Is My Planet, Thornhill take an extraordinary and comprehensive look at some of the following topics:
• Why we eat and why we eat what we eat
• How we moved from eating the raw flesh of animals to becoming sophisticated consumers of food
• How producing food has changed over the years and how tastes have changed, too
• How food is produced for an ever-growing population
• How the food choices that every one of us makes can have an effect on the future
It may seem like a lot to swallow, but the text is delivered in bite-sized bursts and complemented by tons of interesting facts, photos, and illustrations to ensure kids are captivated by the information. Plus, no book about food would be complete without touching on things like burbling stomachs and human waste — the gross stuff that kids love to learn about.
Comprehensive, eye-opening, engaging, and fun, Who Wants Pizza? will be a book that kids will want to digest again and again — figuratively, of course.
