Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Colorful, cartoon-style illustrations dominate the pages of this entertaining book of miscellaneous food facts. Each two-page spread answers a question: Why do bananas have peels?, How are potato chips made?, Why does Swiss cheese have holes?, Can I still eat an apple that turns brown?, etc. Food production and storage are touched upon, although nutrition and proper diet are not. The information is concise and clear, but visual appeal is the volume's strong point. This is a livelier presentation than Ruth Belov Gross's What's on My Plate? (Macmillan, 1990), which answers similar questions in a similar format. Dorothy Hinshaw Patent's Where Food Comes From (Holiday, 1991) offers greater depth of information and a straightforward approach for slightly older readers. Ken Robbins's Make Me a Peanut Butter Sandwich and a Glass of Milk (Scholastic, 1992) presents the production of peanut butter, bread, and milk with large full-color photos. And for those needing greater depth of information on popcorn, there's always Tomie dePaola's delightful The Popcorn Book (Holiday, 1978).
