About

The Story of French Fries by Gloria Koster explores the surprising history of one of the world's most popular potato dishes. Beginning with the question of who first invented French fries, the book investigates their origins and challenges the assumption that they necessarily came from France. 

Readers discover how fried potatoes developed into a familiar food and eventually became popular in restaurants and homes around the world. The book also introduces the preparation and production of this everyday dish, connecting its history to modern food culture. Short, accessible paragraphs and full-page photographs help young readers understand the information, while highlighted vocabulary supports nonfiction reading skills. 

A glossary, index, suggested activity, and additional reading resources encourage children to investigate the histories of other familiar foods and objects.
