Description
That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals uses colorful artwork and energetic text to introduce vegetarianism and veganism to early readers (ages six to ten). Written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, the book features an endearing animal cast of pigs, turkeys, cows, quail, turtles, and dolphins. These creatures are shown in both their natural state—rooting around, bonding, nuzzling, cuddling, grooming one some other, and charming every other with their circle of relatives instincts and rituals—and in the terrible conditions of the factory farm. The book also describes the negative effects eating meat has at the environment. A separate section entitled “What Else Can We Do?” suggests ways children can learn more about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, such as:“Celebrate Thanksgiving with a vegan feast” or “Buy clothes, shoes, belts, and bags that don’t seem to be constituted of leather or other animal skins or fur.” This compassionate, informative book offers both an entertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to discuss a timely, more and more important subject.
