Checkerboard Biography Library: Food Dudes series.
These corporate histories contain some intriguing tidbits about the lives and methods of the inventors and entrepreneurs (though it's hard to imagine that kids would be interested in reading about the Kellogg brothers' feud or the fact that the Mars family has "clean, well-managed factories"). Photographs of the people and their products are interspersed throughout the texts. Timeline. Glos., ind.
