Book Title: Where Does My Food Come From? (available here)
Author: Annabel Karmel
Illustrator: Alex Willmore
Publisher: Welbeck
Publication Date: October 2022
Most Suitable for: EYFS-KS1
A fully illustrated non-fiction picture book that lets readers discover how their favourite foods are grown and made – with exclusive recipes from Annabel Karmel for each one.
Images from renowned children’s artist Alex Willmore make each food cheekily spring to life on the page, telling the story of its creation to the reader. Find out how eggs, cheese, tomatoes, pasta, strawberries, honey and chocolate are grown and made, and enjoy the fun, step-by-step food activities in each section too.
Children often charge to the chocolate aisle, but do they know their favourite treat started out as a bean? They might lap up ketchup, but can they guess how many tomatoes it takes to fill a ketchup bottle? Young learners will discover that llamas and camels have a hand (or hoof) in cheese-making, that bees split runny honey from their tummies into their wings honeycomb to make and it beat thicker, and how strawberries can be used to clean teeth!
Each food selected is presented through an information section, a foodie craft and two delicious recipes to get children up-close to the ingredient they’ve been learning about. The activities are perfect for getting children to create and eat new meals with their favourite food – and for getting fussy eaters to try new foods too.
