The engaging layout and
conversational tone featured in these vibrant, refreshing books will
have kids feeling more like they’ve gone on a field trip than read a
book! Each fact-filled book in this standout series focuses on a
different type of food and explains how that food benefits our bodies,
where the food comes from, how it is grown or made and the forms in
which we eat it. Tons of healthy and nutritious lunchbox and snack ideas
with lots of kid appeal are presented and foods from different countries
and cultures are featured. Web links, including Mypyramid.gov, are
sprinkled throughout. Each book ends with a fun quiz, glossary, index,
and notes for teachers and parents. Library binding, 32 pages. Ages
7-12.

Lok and Siew journey along a mountain road trying to understand what
makes one happy. At once the monks encounter frightened villagers that

make soups from stones, the villagers discover how much they each have
to give - and how much more comes back in return. With magnificent
watercolors that invite reflection of deeper meaning, Jon J. Muth
combines his love of Zen Buddhism and Eastern culture with a favorite
old trickster tale that celebrates the power of generosity. Hardcover,
32 pages. Ages 4-8.
