How Did That Get in My Lunchbox?: The Story of Food (Exploring the Everyday)
Product ID: 62365685
The best part of a young child's day is often opening a lunchbox and diving in. But how did all that delicious food get there? Who made the bread for the sandwich? What about the cheese inside? Who plucked the fruit? And where did the chocolate in that cookie get its start? From planting wheat to mixing flour into dough, climbing trees to machine-squeezing fruit, picking cocoa pods to stirring a vat of melted bliss, here is a clear, engaging look at the steps involved in producing some common foods. Healthy tips and a peek at basic food groups complete the menu.

I like this book
I like this book, but my 4 year old daughter is not too enthusiastic about it for some reason, but maybe because i read it to her in the evening when she was tired.

Great overview to get kids interested in where their food comes from!
As a health coach I have taught classes for preschoolers to introduce them to health as well as teaching parents how to lead by example and also teaching them how to teach their own families about health. Good books are critical to success of both of those endeavors! So, as yo can imgaein, I won quite a few books on food and health, both for kids and for adults.While this book isn't the most focused on health, I have found that kids tend to be VERY curious about where things come from (and my two boys I can speak for specifically as VERY VERY curious!). To that end, this book is excellent because it addresses where all the foods in a lunch box come from. The stories about healthy foods can be powerful tools to get kids interested in those healthy foods!This book does miss the mark slightly by repeating produce and avoiding meat entirely. Since we don't eat much meat in my family this didn't bother me much. But on the other hand I also talk about where food comes from (and, when an animal, I talk about how the animal used to be alive), so it would have been beneficial for this to be addressed. I understand it is tricky, especially since so much meat comes from abysmal circumstances in the USA, and you don't necessarily want to terrify your children... well, anyway, you get the idea. It's simply skipped this book, for better or worse.None the less, I recommend this book for piquing kids interest in food and food politics.
