IR VERDICT:
FROM CHEWING TO POOING, written by Lauren Gehringer with Dr. Natalie Gehringer and illustrated by Maile McCarthy, explains–through colorful illustrations and rhymed verse–how food enters the body, passes through the digestive system, and exits through the colon if not needed for fuel. Back matter includes four pages of “Dr. Natalie’s Tips for Healthy Digestion” and a chart of “High Fiber Foods” with serving sizes. Children will enjoy the playful illustrations of a boy eating and playing, and food working its way through his body and the back matter contains helpful information written at an adult level.
