the thing that surprise me most is: if the milk we drink is from a sleepy cow, we will become sleepy too

I liked learning all the new facts. My favourite was that cereals are magnetic. I've only rated it a 4 as it just wasn't the best for me. I think I prefer more fiction rather than non-fiction. The illustrations were good and kept me interested throughout. I read it in one go as it was quite an easy reader. I would recommend it more for younger children. I think my friends would like the facts but probably feel the same way like me about it.

A good book , things I eat are way more dangerous than I thought and the vitamins they help you a lot more than I though as well.

I learned a lot from this book and I didn't know that there would be this many facts about food in the world.

The food book was very interesting. There were some very good facts including'sientists can grow burgers in a lab and it takes 40,000 bees to fill an orchard with apples. I would defiantly recommend it to someone else

i liked it because it showed that sharks are eaten by humans more than sharks eat people.sharks eat 5 people per year and humans eat 1,000,000,000,000 per year. this book was non-fiction. it interests me because it told me a lot of things that I didn't know about food and the 5 tastes bitter, salty, sweet, sour, savoury.

I have previously borrowed this book a few years ago and remembered it being extremely interesting. However, as I have got older, the book seems to be for children of the ages of 6 to 7. Although, I do think it is still a good book.

This book interested me because I love food and the first fact was ' eating red fruits can keep your heart healthy' and I wanted to read more and I learned that snakes smell with their tounges or it takes 40000 bees to fill an orchard with apples and also there is a 50% chance you don't like broccoli ( which was true)
