Kyle Reed.
“While you slurp up some soup...a butterfly gulps turtle tears.” Contrasts between the way children and animals eat are presented using humor. Most of the animals are commonly known, but their unusual eating habits might come as a surprise. For example, readers will learn that crocodiles eat rocks to aid their digestion. The comical and brightly colored illustrations showcase diverse families. The text also explains the differences between carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. A suggested reading list is appended.
