Oils are liquid fats. They give
a rich flavor to foods they are
found in, such as nut s , seeds, and
fish. Brian P. Cleary’s goofy verse
and Martin Goneau’s humorous
illustrations give young readers a
slick bunch of examples of oils and
foods rich in healthy oils. They also
highlight some health benefits of
eating a limited amount of oil. Oils
and oil-rich foods are printed in
color for easy identification. Enjoy
this flavorful serving of a book!
