Summary: "The History of a Mouthful of Bread" by Jean Macé is an educational work likely written in the late 19th century that explores the science behind digestion and nutrition in an engaging and understandable manner for children.

The opening portion introduces the book in a conversational tone, addressing a young reader and establishing a friendly rapport that invites curiosity. It begins with an exploration of why people eat, inviting the child to consider the biological processes that turn a mouthful of food into essential nutrients for the body.
