Split Up a Sandwich

 

In the Deconstructed Diets series is Split Up a Sandwich by Shalini Vallepur.  This is a nonfiction picture book which gives some of the history of where the sandwich comes from as well as what is in it and what ingredients to watch out for, such as an abundance of salt.  The various ingredients are described as well as what makes up mayonnaise and mustard.  There are an abundance of photographs and drawings which add to the appeal.  Sandwiches from around the world are described and there is an instructive glossary.  Other books in this series cover everything from Pizza to Sushi.  This book provides an appealing introduction to nonfiction for the youngest readers, but it isn’t a Cream of the Crop choice.
