Review By JOHN MCINTYRE With a title like Cows Are Vegetarians, you would expect this book to tell you all about how cows eat grass all their lives. Fortunately, inside its cover is a message much more exciting and profound. Educating your kids about the vegan or vegetarian lifestyle can be tough at times, which [...]

Chicken in the Kitchen
February 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY Uh oh, I thought when I first viewed this title in our local library. I’m going to hate this book. Happily, I soon discovered that no harm comes to the chicken in Tony Johnston and Eleanor Taylor’s silly book. When she invades the dog’s kitchen, the canine doesn’t so much as [...]

Wolfsnail: Backyard Predator
December 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY It’s hard not to be amazed by this book by Sarah C. Campbell and Richard P. Campbell. First there’s the surprise of a carnivorous snail. To see one up close, complete with lip extensions that look like a mustache, and to read its story* is a genuine treat, at least from [...]

Review By JESSICA ALMY This old movie, available on DVD, uses the character of Alice in Wonderland to present a variety of classic children’s stories including one featuring the French orphan Madeline. Veg parents should know that while this film depicts a child freeing captive animals from cages, the liberated animals ultimately decide to return [...]

The [...]
