Bite by Bite is an extremely informative, but text-dense book about how food has changed in America over the years. I thought this was something my fourth and fifth graders would enjoy, but it just contains too much information and is not student-friendly enough to meet their needs or attention span. This could have been great if it was made more kid-friendly, but perhaps I was just not the correct audience for it.

Bite by Bite is very informative. I think my students will enjoy this title. It explores the history of America through its foods. From thousands of years ago to the present, this book debunks the myths that we know everything there is to know about American culture and its foods. The painstaking detail the authors delve into is impressive!
