Summary:
This stunningly illustrated informational book describes the eating habits of animals from all over the world.

Teaching Ideas:
Because Kitchen chose animals from all over the world, map study could be easily included. The brief essays are well written and may serve as models for student writing. A class may choose animals for research, perhaps ones they've seen at a zoo, write brief expositions about how these animals live and eat, collect the entries into a class book, and publish it for their children or for relatives. Students may want to compare the nonfiction accounts with fiction or fable (for example, Anansi the Spider tales or Lobel's Frog and Toad series).
