Did you know that insects are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world? More than two billion people worldwide eat bugs. Do you know why? Because they are an excellent source of protein and contain amounts of vitamins and minerals needed by the human body. Find out what these bugs taste like, how to make them, what flavors to add, and much more with Munch! Crunch! Bugs for Lunch! by Gloria G. Adams. Apart from learning how to make these tasty delights, you will also find snippets on the traits that are unique to each insect, such as how rhinoceros beetles are a high-protein snack in many regions of Africa, and that there are over 11,000 species of grasshoppers around the world. This is your chance to get a taste of the world of entomophagy!

As an Assameese, i.e., from Assam (a northeastern state in India), silkworms are part of our ethnic cuisine. I was delighted they were featured in this wonderful children's book that sheds light on a valuable natural food source that perhaps hasn't been considered a mainstream delicacy in Western society until now. Gloria G. Adams finds a fun way to share the secrets of entomophagy with this colorful children's book, Munch! Crunch! Bugs for Lunch! Using an engaging writing style, Adams provides information on all the types of bugs you can eat and helps you do your part in conserving the environment. Modern world problems require modern solutions. So grab a copy and discover some tasty delicacies you've probably never seen!
