Reviews
Where Does It Come From? - Reviewed by School Library Journal
A look at the steps needed to bring favorite foods from the farm to the table. Each title includes a sidebar of “Ideas for Parents and Teachers” on the copyright page, with prompts for engaging with readers before, during, and after reading. The accurate descriptions of the preparation and processing are streamlined to be accessible to the target audience, and they are repeated toward the end of the text to reinforce the sequence. Circular labels identify the items in the photographs. Many words are defined in the narrative, with more complex ones found in the glossary. Instructions for accessing online resources are included, as well as an index. VERDICT A first purchase for elementary libraries and classrooms.
