It's Disgusting and We Ate It! True Food Facts from Around the World and Throughout History

I actually bought this book to encourage my boys to take more of interest in reading. I bought this as a Christmas present so I'm not really sure what the final verdict will be, but since it has to do w/ gross stuff I figure it will be a hit. The only down side I can think of is how long it took to receive the book. I actually ordered three books at the same time and have yet to receive the third. I ordered these on 16 November 10.

It is a fun book. My daughter couldn’t wait to share this book with her friends.

I'm in my 30s and I got this book for myself. I'm always curious and fascinated about what people around the world eat. This book, although written for a kid, did a great job of satisfying some of that curiousity. I'm about to send this off to my 5 year old niece. I think she would get a kick out of this!!P.S. If you're looking for a more adult book on "weird" eats, I highly recommend:Extreme Cuisine: The Weird and Wonderful Foods that People Eat

My grandson and the 5th graders in his class loved my reading of this book to them so much that they wrote me a "thank you" note. I was told that they do not generally write thank you notes to the readers that come in to class to read, but they enjoyed this book so much that I was issued a "special thank you note."

Using this in classrooms and eating things that go with the story like dirt cups for worms

It describes a lot of strange foods around the world. I got it for my world traveling boyfriend and he really enjoyed it. In general, I'd say it's a 5-6th grade book but adults will enjoy it as well.

My daughter needed to do some non-fiction book reports and this was great. She became very interested in the different facts about eating habits from around the world (past and present). Gross stuff always grabs their attention and of course they love to share....Would be great for boys but girls enjoy gross stuff too! Good for 8 thru 10ish.

My 9 year old is having fun reading this and telling us all about the strange stuff people ate. Sometimes she tells us at the wrong time-like during dinner! Anyway, this book is recommended.

Cute book about what people eat around the world
