Product Description
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.

Beautifully illustrated and the subject of eating animals is very sensitively dealt with!
It is not scary or graphic but gives children an overview of the habits and emotions of farm animals and helps them to make a connection between food and where it comes from.
I've been waiting so long for a book like this and I am not disappointed!!

This is a book for children - a picture book - that I came across last week when I bought another book on amazon and it came up on the "people who bought..." so I was curious and wanted to take a look at it. Also for my children's literature course I have to write an essay about a picture book for children and have been looking for one to use and thought this book might be a good one considering the subject matter and the images and the fact that it is approved as a children's book but not full of happy fluffy animals wearing clothes or frolicking in the fields. It's not a book that is designed to indoctrinate children into some weird vegan cult or anything like that. It's a book that would be very useful for children who are interested in the subject or who perhaps already don't want to eat animals or who want to know the meaning of vegan or vegetarian and what those people do and don't eat. It explains about pet animals, and how we treat them differently to other animals, how pigs and cows and chickens are supposed to live and how we, especially thanks to factory farming, prevent them from living natural lives, what happens in the oceans and the number of sea animals that are killed accidentally as a result of trawling etc for specific fish to kill, endangered species, environmental issues etc. I think it's a very good educational book regardless of your feelings on eating animals.

I needed a book to inroduce my children as to why we are vegan, this is it, in lovely, in places almost poetic language but without avoiding the hard topics such as factory farming, this book talks about how we are all part of the cycle of life on this world and the cruelties of farming animals.
My only gripe is that its language is slightly American at times - but this is easy to alter as required.

Not for us
This book is illustrated beautifully but that's about it. I wanted something with a positive message to explain why we don't eat meat to my 4 year old. Read more
