(Ruby Tuesday Books, Aug. 1, 2013)
We crunch up fruit, cereal, pizza, vegetables, and many other foods. And then, somehow, all that food gives us energy. From chewing to digesting, to going to the bathroom, our teeth, stomach, intestines, and many other body parts work together to turn food into fuel for our bodies. In What Happens When I Eat? the body parts and processes involved in eating and digestion are explored through a child's everyday actions and experiences. Fascinating facts are woven into lively, accessible step-by-step explanations delivering solid science in a way that's perfectly suited to the book's Grade 2 readership.
