No Way . . . Way!: Are You My Dinner?

Part of Smithsonian

Illustrated by Luke Flowers
Are You My Dinner?
Sure, everybody knows worms eat dirt . . . but did you know that scorpions are on the menu for meerkats? Or that there’s a vampire finch (three guesses what it eats!)? Or that some people eat stinkbugs? No way . . . way!
Kids will gobble up this super-cool fact book inspired by the wide-ranging collections of the Smithsonian. It’s a full menu of lively text, fantastic photos, fun illustrations, and snappy design that all about who’s eating what, where food came from, and how we started eating it in the first place.

She has also written several books for the Smithsonian series No Way . . . Way! including No Way . . . Way!: Road TripNo Way . . . Way!: Are You My Dinner? and No Way . . .
