<strong>of</strong> it. This classic picture book makes a wonderful read-aloud and introduces children to the importance <strong>of</strong> trying and<br />

eating a variety <strong>of</strong> foods.<br />

Morris, Ann 2 1 N<br />

Scholastic Inc., 1989<br />

Photographs from around the world show types <strong>of</strong> bread that people eat and enjoy. Using simple text, it introduces<br />

children to different eating customs. An index provides information about each photo, including the country where it was<br />

taken. This book can serve as a springboard for children to share their family’s eating customs.<br />

Bread Is For Eating<br />

Gershator, David and Phillis 2 2 F<br />

Trumpet Club, 1995<br />

When her son leaves bread on his plate, Mamita tells him that bread is for eating and then sings a song to him in<br />

Spanish. This sets the stage for a delightful picture book that traces bread’s production from planting seeds to baking<br />

the loaves. The lyrical prose and multicultural illustrations emphasize the universal nature <strong>of</strong> bread. Music and words in<br />

both English and Spanish are included.<br />
