Review
"Turkeys dance and grieve together; they blush and fly to the treetops when the
moon comes out. In factory farms they have no freedom and are made too fat to
fly."
--Kirkus
Product Description
That's Why We Don't Eat Animals uses colorful artwork and lively 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 another, and charming each other with their family instincts and rituals--and
in the terrible conditions of the factory farm. The book also describes the
negative effects eating meat has on 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 are not made from 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 talk about a
timely, increasingly important subject.
