" That's Why We Don't Eat Animals: A Book About Vegans, Vegetarians, and All Living Things ," written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, has gorgeous and haunting illustrations. And it gently tells the story of why we shouldn't eat factory farmed animals. And I'd prefer a different message.

There's no remotely vegan or even vegetarian (though I'm not even sure what the latter would look like) message.
