“ While the children mix, pour, stir, poke, and otherwise mess around in their stream-side “ kitchen,” larger background spreads a close-ups depict an assortment of insects and other small creatures that , in the last spread, are placed in their context as important links in the food chain. The brief text relies on rhymes and humorously revolting images: “ What’s for snack? Slugs in a sack, “ “ What’s for dessert? Worms and dirt.”… The watercolor illustrations are light and the text is playfully laid out with assorted typefaces that jump and curve about the pages. An imaginative work that will fit nicely with primary environmental curriculums.”—Booklist.
