The Vegetarian Lion

December 1st, 2011 · 3 Comments · Books

Review By JENNIFER KALI I had such high hopes for this book.  It’s the story of a lion that is a little different. He doesn’t like to eat meat and would rather eat vegetables instead. He is a loner amongst his lion friends, but that’s okay because he bides his time with other vegetarian animals like [...]

Sometimes It’s Turkey, Sometimes It’s Feathers

May 24th, 2011 · No Comments · Books

Review By JESSICA ALMY I’d first heard of Lorna Balian’s picture book Sometimes It’s Turkey, Sometimes It’s Feathers because it was recommended on the Vegetarian Resource Group’s veg parents listserv.

Standing Up to Mr. O.

February 19th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Books

Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN If I had the chance to modify the lyrics to The Sound of Music’s My Favorite Things, I’d be sure to list “finding random children’s animal rightsy books at the library” as one of them.  I just recently scored this little literary nibble.

August 25th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Books

Review By HUYEN MACMICHAEL Garlic- Onion- Beet- Spinach- Mango- Carrot- Grapefruit Juice is a fresh, one-of-a-kind book designed to get a person’s mental juices flowing about compassion, vegetarianism, stereotypes,  expectations, and (of course) juicing.
