That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals uses colorful artwork and lively text to introducevegetarianism and veganism to early readers (ages six to ten). Written and illustratedby Ruby Roth, the book features an endearing animal cast of pigs, turkeys, cows,quail, turtles, and dolphins. These creatures are shown in both their natural state—rootingaround, bonding, nuzzling, cuddling, grooming one another, and charming each otherwith their family instincts and rituals—and in the terrible conditions of the factoryfarm. The book also describes the negative effects eating meat has on the environment.A separate section entitled “What Else Can We Do?” suggests ways children can learnmore about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, such as:“Celebrate Thanksgiving witha vegan feast” or “Buy clothes, shoes, belts, and bags that are not made from leatheror other animal skins or fur.” This compassionate, informative book offers both anentertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to talk about atimely, increasingly important subject.
