Reviews

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting book about weird foods from around the world such as what other countries put on their pizza’s, or fruits that you never thought were a fruit, or how swiss cheese gets its holes, or what a certain type of seaweed is used for, or different sides you’re your order a burger, or who other countries gain nutrients and protein. All weird to us in North America but very true. Great book for kids and adults alike, would have been better if the book was a little longer.

This looks at different "weird" foods (about 7 different things) and gives a little bit of information about each food. Good for a 1st, 2nd or 3rd grader.
