Based on co-author Mark Kurlansky's acclaimed bestseller Salt: A World History, this picture book explores every aspect of salt: the many ways it's gathered from the earth and sea; how ancient emperors in China, Egypt, and Rome used it to keep their subjects happy; and even how the search for salt eventually led to oil.
"[T]he author mixes science, history, and personal anecdotes, resulting in a fascinating look at this amazing substance…A lively and well-researched title, with exemplary art," says School Library Journal.
