What Is That You Eat Ny M Jones

This follow on to the series debut, "Dressed in Peace," sees the author once again using her creative skills to teach and entertain young readers on topics of culture and diversity through the delightful character Ali-en.

Ali-en loves to eat, but when his favourite dish is taking too long his mum suggests that he takes a trip on his rocket, under one condition, he makes it home by noon.


With countries like Jamaica and Italy in his plan, he has one question in mind, "What is that you eat?." But with so many friends to see and so many wonderful dishes to taste, will he make it back in time?

Written with rhyme and repetition, this charming tale is fantastic to read out loud. As well as entertain, this is clever way to softly introduce new countries, foods and increments of time .
