It's Disgusting and We Ate It! True Food Facts from Around the World and Throughout History

This book was interesting and enjoyable to read. I liked how it describes various types of food and dishes that have been consumed by different people in many regions throughout history. As suggested by the title of this book, some types of food described in this book seem exotic and disgusting, but it helps the readers to realize how the things that we eat have changed as time passed. I also liked that vivid illustrations were used in describing the various types of food and that each page has a poem on a particular dish - for instance, the readers see a poem dedicated to frog legs on page 2 of this book, and a part of it reads: "Everyone says they taste like chicken - that fried in butter they're juicy lickin'. They say if I'd just show more try a bite, I'd end up eating the whole dang night." The main idea of this book is to inform the readers on the "evolution" of food from different regions. show less

I really liked this book. The big picture of the book was to give readers an idea of food facts and where in the world it can be found. The illustrations in this book are great! Albeit some pages have a lot going on, still like the illustrations. I like the food facts that each page has. It has statistics, interesting facts about that food, text bubbles if two people were talking about that specific food, etc. I like the index and contents page the book has. This make it easy for the reader to find exactly what page they are looking for as well as give the reader an idea as to the contents of the book. I really like the book has a map of the world and different sayings that are in that part of the world.

I really liked this book, it was interesting to read about the different kinds of food from different regions of the world. I feel like students would be engaged and interested in reading about it. Teachers can also think of fun activities to do with this book as well. I would recommend this book to anybody. Everyone can enjoy reading a book like this.

A collection of poems, facts, statistics, and stories about unusual foods and eating habits both contemporary and historical.
