Our friendly vegetarian cow is back to explain vegetarianism When Ann Bradley wrote this book back in 1992, being a vegetarian wasn't nearly as popular a choice as it is now.

COWS can help your younger vegetarian child understand the importance of his lifestyle and it explains how to deal with non veg relatives and friends. Delightful illustrations and a wraparound cow cover make this little book appealing

This is the perfect book for kids who want to try their hand at creating their own tasty meatless dishes, and for parents who want recipes that are nutritious and easy to prepare.

Card catalog description

A collection of meatless recipes to use in preparing a variety of meals as well as party foods. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

From Booklist

Much more than a guide to modifying diet, this book takes pains to explain why vegetarianism is beneficial both to the individual and to the planet. Drawing on numerous resources, Krizmanic thoroughly investigates various reasons people choose not to eat meat--health benefits, ethical concerns, and environmental factors, among them--and by listing organizations and newsletters of interest, she encourages readers to become actively involved in their lifestyle choice. The first part of the book is a revealing rationale for vegetarianism (statistics aren't specifically documented, though chapter references are supplied); the second tackles how to explain your switch to your parents and friends and how to manage when eating away from home; the third is purely practical, discussing nutrition, introducing some health foods, and providing a selection of recipes. An encouraging, consciousness-raising overview that may help change the undecided or the simply curious into the fully committed. References and a glossary are appended.

From Booklist June 1, 1999

Krizmanic offers a great companion to her 1994 proactive A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian. Quotes from young adults who have made themselves comfortable as vegetarians are scattered through a palatable selection of vegan (no meat, milk, eggs, etc.) recipes encompassing everything from breakfast items to desserts. Also included are many "fast-food" and easy-to-prepare (identified by a special icon) dishes for teens who aren't crazy about spending time in the kitchen. Recipes are laid out nicely, with ingredients listed first, followed by a numbered sequence of clear instructions. Boxed insets in Krizmanic's strong, clear voice add background on vegetarianism, and there's a helpful food chart to remind readers about nutritional values. Teens new to vegetarian cooking will find the glossary of "unusual" foods helpful, as well. Stephanie Zvirin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Amazon.com

For many people, vegetarianism is a moral choice, rather than one determined by the pursuit of health. Either way, one of the perils of vegetarianism is that today's children live in a hamburger and hot dog world. This book presents the vegetarian life from conception forward: how a pregnant woman can get enough of the proper nutrients, how children can be raised beeflessly, how to argue against those who try to steer you back to the ways of animal flesh, how to cook food that won't make your family secretly yearn for Big Macs. Those parents who aren't already committed to vegetarianism won't find particularly compelling arguments to do so here, but for those who are, this is an indispensable guide.
