How Did That Get in My Lunchbox? The Story of Food

This iconographic-animated adaptation of the 2011 picture book written by Chris Butterworth and illustrated by Lucia Gaggiotti offers a general introduction to a few different food sources. The bread in one's lunchbox sandwich, for example, comes from the flour ground from wheat; the tomatoes ripen from green to orange to red before being plucked; and the apple is picked from an orchard. Presenting a basic overview of major food groups and the amounts people need to eat from each, the program offers solid information but suffers a bit from the static, unremarkable illustrations and humorless approach. DVD extras include a brief conversation with Butterworth, who talks about how she became a children's author. Optional. Aud: E, P. (T. Keogh)
