What the World Eats

What the World Eats,
Photographed by Peter Menzel, Written by Faith D'Aluisio
4th Grade and Up

Have you ever wondered what someone from another country eats? In What the World Eats twenty-six families from around the world (and 3 from the U.S.) are photographed with their entire week's worth of groceries. Each entry delves into the day-to-day lives of the families, detailing eating habits typical in their county. Each family's story also includes a family recipe, a breakdown of food, facts about the country, a map and much more.

This book is a fascinating look at other cultures and a wealth of information, beautiful photographed and laid out. The adult version of this book is Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.
