About the Book



"Lively text and vibrant, humorous illustrations present twelve food-focused scenarios in this inventive, engaging, and surprisingly relatable introduction to animal behavior. After a brief introduction, twelve playful comparisons demonstrate ways a variety of animals and humans are the same but different when it comes to their snacks and meals. The animals are from a wide range of geographic habitats, from arctic foxes to Amazonian turtles and butterflies to Canada Jays. And the kids we see are culturally diverse. On the recto, a human activity is described with a single sentence. With a turn of the page, the recto reveals the animal comparison along with a short factual paragraph explaining the animal's behavior. The final page offers a brief explanation of why humans and animals need to eat: nutritious food gives your body the energy to think, move, and grow. It goes on to explain that different animals have different food needs and introduces the terms herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore. Includes a list of suggested reading as end matter"--



Book Synopsis



A fun, fact-filled look at both the relatable and the surprising ways animals gobble up grub

Crunch... munch... slurp... CHOMP! The animals of Chomp-O-Rama are hungry, and each creature has its own way of eating. Some dine in ways similar to humans. And others definitely do not. This playful nonfiction book offers creative comparisons between the way humans eat and the mealtime habits of a dozen other creatures.

While humans slurp up soup, butterflies use the straw-like part on the front of their head to sip sweet liquids. While we use a knife to cut food, a sea otter cracks open its meal with a stone. While we take bites of our food, a snake swallows its meal whole!

A turn of the page after each human behavior means that each comparison is a surprising reveal, creating an engaging read-aloud experience. Vibrant digital art brings color and humor to the fascinating facts in this inventive and relatable introduction to animal behavior.
