Description

Pizza, Pickles, and Apple Pie by David Rickert delves into fascinating food history, nutrition, and American culture. This middle-grade graphic-format nonfiction book for kids answers oft-asked questions about the foods we love, explaining how they came to be.

How did a pizza become a pizza? Is a pickle really a cucumber in disguise? Whether it's pizza and pickles, or sushi and salad, there's a story behind all of our favourite foods. From breakfast to dinner, this book explores popular foods from our history and explains their origins.

Young readers will travel back in time—sometimes thousands of years—to cultures all over the globe to learn how and why foods were discovered. They'll also meet key people from food history along the way, including the inventor of breakfast cereal and the creator of salad dressing.

The science behind unhealthy foods is also explored in this fascinating book, which includes projects and activities for both the classroom and home.
