The Edible Pyramid

While we strive to avoid the anthropomorphic representation of animals we will make exceptions for excellent books. This well-written book on nutrition and the food-guide pyramid is one such example. The text does depicts the normal foods that various animals would consume (the pelican hopes there is seafood while the frogs hope there are fresh flies). Also the author represents all foods equally. On the page depicting protein foods there are seafoods, eggs, turkey, chicken, ham, meatballs, steak, and fish. The text and illustrations are accurate. This would be a great way to introduce the nutritional recommendations of the food-guide pyramid.
