Great for reports!

The book opens with a map and a quick overview of important foods in India. It then proceeds to discuss each food type in a little more detail. The second half of the book continues to discuss food, but also the festivals and celebrations that go with it. Religion is also discussed, and there are recipes included with each. At the end of the book there is a glossary, a suggested reading list, acknowledgements and an index.This upper elementary level book does not go in depth with each article it discusses, but the content is well laid out and thorough. The photos included are bright, colorful and appropriate for the items discussed on each page. Extra information is included in boxes on the sides of the pages. The recipes are easy to make and would be fun to share with a class or your family.
