Worms for Breakfast: How to Feed a Zoo

"Feeding time is one of the most popular events at zoos. Kids are naturally curious to know what their favourite animals eat, and they're fascinated to see how they're fed, too. Worms for Breakfast is a fresh, new way to explore the zoo--through the kitchens! This book will look like a cookbook and read like a cookbook--but beware, if you try the recipes, your meals will not taste very good--to humans! That's because this (slightly) gross-out cookbook describes the meals prepared for and eaten by animals at the zoo! The recipes in this cookbook will open the door to topics such as nutrition, what/how zookeepers feed baby animals, what they substitute for food they can't source, and how they set up food to mimic how an animal hunts/eats in the wild. It will include recipes for kids' favourite carnivores, herbivores, omnivores and insectivores. It will also mention why some animal simply can't be fed in captivity. Illustrator Kathy Boake's digitally collaged photo-illustrations mimic the look of a photographed cookbook, but give the content an extra wacky flavor!"--
