Time to Eat

Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' about everything in nature, or if you are looking for a way to expand a picky eater's perspective on what constitutes a meal. This captivating nonfiction guide moves beyond simple facts to explore the diverse and often surprising ways creatures survive and thrive through food. It is a perfect tool for fostering a sense of wonder about the natural world while introducing complex biological concepts in an accessible way. Using Jenkins and Page's signature paper collage style, the book introduces 17 different animals with unique eating habits, from the archerfish's water pistol to the spider's liquid diet. While the focus is on science, the underlying theme is curiosity and the incredible variety of life. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 8, providing enough visual detail for preschoolers and deeper factual layers for elementary students who are ready to learn about digestion and food storage.
