Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN A few weeks ago I got my hands on one of those 100-ways-to-help-earth type books. I usually just scan them to see if farm animals and dietary choices are mentioned at all. All too often these books pull an Al Gore and ignore the biggest way to make a positive [...]

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 [...]

The Vegan Slow Cooker
November 9th, 2011 · No Comments · Books
Review By JENNIFER GANNETT We debated here at Vegbooks headquarters about reviewing this book — after all, it is neither a kids book nor a movie. In the end, we accepted a review copy, and the lucky job of reviewing fell to me! My family and friends didn’t seem to mind. I went into the [...]

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. Then I noticed that readers had also listed it on Goodreads as a good book for vegetarian and vegan kids. So of course I had [...]

The Jumbo Vegetarian Cookbook
May 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Books
Review By JENNIFER GANNETT The Jumbo Vegetarian Cookbook is a handy resource for vegetarian parents who want to involve their children in the kitchen. Vegan families will have to either skip a number of the recipes or arrange for a work-around where dairy products and eggs are called for. The book contains a nice explanation [...]

Recycle This Book
May 10th, 2011 · No Comments · Books
Review By JENNIFER GANNETT In Recycle This Book, one hundred children’s book authors offer their suggestions and personal stories on the subject of green living. Each vignette or essay is short, merely a page and a half or two long. The effect is busy but not overwhelming. It is fun and inspiring to hear how others [...]

Shlemiel Crooks
March 27th, 2011 · No Comments · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY I’m probably not the best person to review this book, since I’m not Jewish and this book is about the celebration of Passover in early 20th century St. Louis. Still, ever since my daughter attended a Jewish preschool last year, I’ve been on the lookout for a vegan-friendly Passover book, and [...]

Looking for Easter
March 17th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY I’ve been on a quest for vegan-friendly Easter books for two years now, but the pickin’s are awfully, awfully slim. It’s a surprise too, since Easter is about new life, so you’d think there would be a huge number of life-affirming children’s books. Not so. Happily, Dori Chaconas and Margie Moore’s Looking [...]
