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.

Convincing young children to taste new fruits and vegetables is an age-old challenge, but they might discover they like food when it's prepared a different way since the texture and flavor of food changes based on the way it is prepared. Children might discover that they like raw versus cooked carrots, apple sauce versus sliced apples, soft celery in soup versus crisp, crunchy celery sticks, grilled onions versus raw, whole fruit versus blended, and so forth. Taste buds are always changing, so wouldn't it be terrific if children could be convinced to taste the same food cooked a different way and try food multiple times?

Easy rhymes and repetitive verses are combined with deliciously colorful pastel illustrations.
