2The Story of How Kids Become Adventurous Eaters!
You are Not an Otter takes children on a food adventure, exploring all the ways that animals eat! Otters carry a favorite rock under their arms for cracking open clams, flamingos dip and drizzle water as they stand on one foot, and gorillas travel in troops to dine together in the jungle. Do YOU carry a rock, dip and drizzle or gather in the jungle to eat with your family? No, you are not an otter, nor a flamingo and most definitely not a gorilla. But there is one thing you can do that other creatures can't. Find out what makes children so special in this creative book on how kids learn to become adventurous eaters.
