AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

A collection of upbeat food sprites takes the reader on a tour of how various foods came to be from pizza to pickles. 

At first glance, this book looks like a fictional middle-grade graphic novel but sports a fairly high lexile as it goes through food facts from throughout the world. This is a fun way to learn facts, though I would have liked a table of contents. Some simple recipes go with the different sections. Food aficionados may enjoy this but the artwork seems geared to elementary-age girls.
