My daughter will find this interesting. *no evolution

I think this is a captivating, early nonfiction book that will interest almost all children. Readers learn that various insects are eaten around the world and that each is prepared in a specific way or eaten raw. From Bug Pizza in Mexico, to Raw Termites in Uganda, and Fried Water bugs in Thailand, readers will learn about the wide variety of insects that are eaten as well as their nutritional value. This is a quick but fascinating read that includes a glossary, an index, and suggestions for further exploration.

From cricket lollipops to roasted ants in the movie theatre, here are the stories of bug foods from around the world. Part cook book, part social study, and all queezy, this is a fun nonfiction written at a very accessible level. Read all the books in this Extreme Cuisine series. (Mammal Menu - Slithery, Slimy, Scaly Treats - and more)
