Our Food

Christina Moore's diverting narration is well suited to this fun short science book for children. Moore keeps things light and engaging as the authors explore food and basic biology. Lilting tones pose questions such as "what vegetables come in your favorite color?" and explain topics like "why beans make us gassy," capturing the book's humor and encouraging curiosity and discussion. Moore's highly modulated voice not only adds to the richness of the food descriptions--for example, the textures of fruits--but also keeps the more detailed explanations engaging. As the authors point out the multifaceted aspects of our food and diet, Moore helps make this children's listening experience both educational and entertaining. M.F.
