Discussion: I think maps are a wonderful way to organize information and to physically see where food items and other items originate. This book would be a perfect example to introduce social studies with maps and culture.
How To Teach It: While reading this book to my class, we would write on the board where each item originates or is found. Then I will distribute maps and crayons to each student. The students will have to find the country and draw the item in the country where that particular object is found. After this is done, we could talk about how and why all these items get transported to different places around the world. Also, we could introduce directions and express which item is south or north of another.
