That's Why We Don't Eat Animals: A Book About Vegans, Vegetarians, and All Living Things: A Book About Vegans, Vegetarians, and All Living Things

By Ruby Roth

Targeted to early readers ages six to ten, Ruby Roth's nonfiction book presents a showcase of brilliant illustrations featuring animals both in their natural, fulfilling setting and then in cramped, factory-farm misery, to carry the clear, firm message of veganism's virtue.

"That's Why We Don't Eat Animals" makes the case sensitively for both vegetarianism and veganism with gorgeous artwork and a clear, firm stance about the needs of animals and the peril to the greater environment.
