DO NOT open this book if you have a queasy stomach or if you don't like bugs! Boys will love this book for the yuck factor alone. The book talks about which countries eat bugs and how they cook them or eat them raw. There is a map at the back with the countries highlighted that eat bugs. On every other page is an insert in the form of a plate with a knife and fork; on the plate are facts, such as the fact that 1700 insects are eaten in over 100 countries around the world. Quite informative and gross!
