I remember I use to have a lunchbox as a kid and I was happy to bring it to school with me everyday. I was curious as a kid asking my parents questions like where did all my food in my lunchbox come from? Now I know some of my food was grown on the farm, trees, and so much more. Interestingly, this book explains different sections of your plate of what is good and bad for you. Certain foods will help you grow, gain energy, stay healthy, and become stronger. Protein will help you grow. Carbohydrates give you energy. Fruits and Vegetables keep you healthy. Dairy builds your bones and helps your teeth grow strong. Lastly, there are snacks, which are unhealthy for you. What amazes me is that so many people helped out to make you enjoy your food to live a positive lifestyle. This story will help our kids understand where your food comes from and what it's made of. ( ) Recommended by Anna VS or Lauren B Explains (in a very basic way) where bread, cheese, tomatoes, apple juice, carrots, chocolate chips, and clementines come from and how they are made. There is also a section at the end that shows all the foods (carbs, fruits & veggies, protein, dairy, sweets), a "food facts" page, and an index. More teach-y than fun, but lots of bright colors and a good reminder that food doesn't grow in the store. * Re-read March 2020; rating updated from 2.5 stars to 4 stars. A great nonfiction choice for preschoolers or early elementary students curious about where food comes from. Another great nonfiction children's book that teaches kids about where the food in their lunchbox came from. It is important for kids to know that food does not just come from the kitchen. Children need to gain an understanding at a very young age that food comes from many different resources other than what they would think. It asks readers questions like where did the bread from my sandwich come from? What about this fruit or vegetable? I would implement this in my classroom by having my students write out there favorite meal and then tell a partner exactly where each food object came from. no reviews | add a review
