Product Description
Did you know that radishes are a common breakfast food in Japan? Why do Americans love corn dogs? Do watermelons remove freckles? Can you really clean a toilet with a can of cola? Where does the expression "say cheese" come from? Did you know that in 1919 a molasses flood killed 21 people in Boston?
What child isn't going to want to know the answers to these questions? Step into any school cafeteria and you'll hear kids buzzing about food. Everything but the Kitchen Sink builds on that fascination with food through history, science, art, superstitions, and world records.

 Food Trivia, Kids have a million questions, it's nice while we're cooking, to have a few answers November 10, 2008

The books reading level is for a 9 to 12 year old. I have a 7 year old and he reads one fact at a time.
The book is filled with cartoon pictures and factoids about food. Were you wondering who invented the pizza? Perhaps you were wondering about the largest chocolate bar? Or were you wondering what ancient cultures ate? These are the sorts of questions this book can help you get answers for.
There are a few "recipes"/experiments. Fun things to do with food. Making omeletes in a plastic bag for one.
We recently got ours but we have been reading it at breakfast and dinner. We plan to leave it in the kitchen, so the next time my son and I are cooking and he asks me about eggs or eating frogs I can whip out this book and we can giggle over some silly facts.

We had a Scholastic Book Fair at our elementary school and my daughter's 3rd Grade teacher had this book on her "Wish List". To make a long story short, we purchased it for her, took it home, and now we have to buy our own copy because my daughter loves it.
The book has 10 Chapters with lots of cartoon drawings and info balloons to break up the text. I would think it would appeal to children that like trivia and/or weird facts. The Accelerated Reading level (ATOS) is 6.0 which means that your average Entering 6th Grader should be able to read the book without becoming frustrated by the vocabulary.
The Interest Level of 4th to 7th Grade is suggested, but apparently some 3rd Graders (and adults) find this book intriguing as well.
