Explore children’s books related to food and eating

Individual Project 2 (IP-2)

Children’s books

Purpose To explore children’s books related to food and eating

Directions

Read and review 5 children’s books that focus on food.   You may have appropriate books at home – if not, you can look online. Teachingbooks.net is  a good source, and you can also search on YouTube.

Choose  one of each of the following, and then 2 additional books that fit into one of the categories:

A board book (typically all pictures, few words, appropriate for children under age 2).  

A story book (pictures and words, short sentenc, appropriate for children ages 3-5)

An easy chapter book (mostly words, few pictures, appropriate for new readers, with multiple chapters – ages 5-7)

The books you choose must have food or eating as the primary focus and must be something you would read with children either in a small group, at circle time or one on one. If you choose a book that isn’t about food or doesn’t fit one of the categories above, you will not get credit for it. NO COOKBOOKS OR NONFICTION – you would not read those with children.  

Writ a short review of each of the 5 books which includes the following information in this format.  Include the headings in bold and numbered as shown below:

Include

The title and author of the book

The age group it is intended for and which of the categories it fits (board book, storybook, or chapter book)

An overview of the story

The types of foods that are shown

The general message about food or eating

The answers to questions #3-5 must be in essay format, so full sentenc please.

In addition to the book reviews, please uploa a picture of each of the 5 books.
