Weird But True Food
Fried crickets? Rose petal soup? Seaweed in ice cream? Can it really be true? Readers find out as they learn about some weird and wonderful food.
* Reviews *
Well designed to inject jolts of interest into emerging readers, each of these mini-albums presents marvelsfrom crowd-pleasing information about fried crickets and durian (a fruit that "smells like dead fish or dirty toilets!") in Food to giant hailstones and lenticular clouds in Weather. Each spread features a paragraph about the strange thing or phenomenon, opens with an attention-grabbing headline ("Kuiper Belt/Can it hold up your pants?"), and closes with the refrain, "Its weird, but its true!" Large color photos or illustrations reflect the featured subjects. The back matter in each volume will stoke further curiosity nicely., School Library Journal Fall 2011
