Netgalley ARC - fun, informative, and colorful! I think some of the diagrams/visuals could be clearer, like the direction of the arrows in "where does our food come from" feels like it should have been reversed

Very informative but easily accessible for a younger reader. I especially love all the diagrams that allow for a visual comparison, my favorite is the protein one. This book helps kids see how connected all the living creatures on earth are, and even how connected what we eat is to the earth. I will admit it does not have me ready to go out and eat crickets, but it definitely as an adult makes more more reflective on how my diet affects the ecosystem.

Insightful and informative, I've eaten some bugs along the way and wish there was more accessibility in the area to continue to eat more. French does an awesome job for the intended middle grade audience to provide pictures and examples and understanding to why bugs as food is a sustainable and nutritious option as the world shifts because of population and the climate.

The sections are brightly colored, easily understood, and feature helpful information that doesn't go straight to humor to help disarm a reader but to teach the reader to be open to the idea from a place of knowledge empowerment.

Will definitely purchase this one!

I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley
French does an excellent job of presenting information at a level middle grade readers will understand. It's a topic that may make readers squirm but the suggestions are shared clearly and data is provided to back up the author's point. The illustrations capture the various animals and make the topic easy to identify with. Looking forward to sharing this one.

This book is so interesting! As an adult I learned so much, but it is written in a way kids can easily understand. My daughter is 8 and the set up seems perfect for someone around that age.
