(4) 4-6 Yucky Science series. Illustrated by Gerald Kelley. A "What's Yucky?" introduction asks: "How do you decide something is disgusting?" Each chapter then focuses on a different category of food (e.g., "Crunchy Crawlies," "Wiggly Snacks") from around the world. The text, while occasionally reductive, is both informative ("Many insects have a lot more protein than beef, and they have much less fat") and humorous. Illustrations and photographs underscore the grossness. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
