This book combines curriculum study of rationing in World War II with local history and looks at local evidence of food shortages. The topics include ration books, recycling waste, recipes for rationed foods, digging for victory and saving resources. It is one of a series and aims to encourage those doing local history projects to find ration books, study street directories, and search for old books and newspapers. A cartoon bloodhound directs use of local resources and sets puzzles and tasks. The book is also intended for literacy training as it uses many text forms: newspapers, reports, recipes, adverts, letters, censuses, logbooks and interviews.
