Saving the World, One Healthy Food at a Time!
by Paul Showers
What Happens to a Hamburger? takes readers through the process of digestion. Beginning in the mouth and ending in the bathroom, every step in digesting food is explored. Informative diagrams, illustrations, and photos on each page help young readers to visualize what is going on in the body with each bite of food. How food is used in the body for energy, muscles, bones, teeth, growth, and maintenance is another theme of this highly educational story. This topic will challenge readers’ minds and stimulate thought. It is an excellent tool for teaching about what happens to the food you eat and how the digestive system turns food into energy.
