This is a wonderful non-fiction book that tells the story of Maine’s traditional clam chowder, without tomatoes, that is. In 1939, a Maine lawmaker and chef, agreed to a cook-off to determine whether Maine’s traditional chowder, or a Manhattan chowder, which included tomatoes, would rule the day.

This delightful picture book has an easy text, and beautiful illustrations, including some multi-cultural folks! I highly recommend this fun book to all ages!
