Going to School in India. By Lisa Heydlauff. Charlesbridge, 2005. This book is a companion to the film mentioned
last week. It is engaging to look at, and a little chaotic. It hammers home the point that school is not a given for many children in India, and explains why there is such a variety. It might work to read a section aloud in a program about kids or schools around the world, and it would certainly be a good discussion book.
Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects. By Peter Menzel and Faith D'Alusio. Ten Speed Press, 1998. If you didn't find this book a few years ago during the 2008 Catch the Reading Bug SLP, it is time to take a look at it. It includes some important analysis about diet and culture and our own assumptions, but the fascinating photographs of people hunting, raising, preparing and enjoying bugs are what will draw your audience.
