Bread

Part of the "On Your Plate" series, this large-print, easy-reader text introduces readers to white bread, wheat bread, pita bread, rolls and buns, Indian bread, croissants, French bread and pizza. Each book in the series includes all-color pictures with one or two sentences of accompanying text and a smaller print sentence of additional text, like a Powerpoint presentation turned into a book. Throughout the series, the term healthy is misused (things are healthful, people are healthy, according to my usage guides). One of the serving suggestions was baked beans on toast, which struck me as odd. Croissants, according to the text, "come from France." The book ends with a two page Things To Do quiz where readers can test their memory of the text with a matching quiz. Glossary is half a page, index is the remainder of the page. Publisher provided blurb says, "Latch-key kids will also appreciate the number of recipes and meal suggestions included in each volume." There were, however, NO recipes.
