The Vegetables We Eat

Children will be fascinated to learn they eat flowers, roots, and seeds! This well-organized overview will enrich any child's gardening and food preparation experiences.

It compares eight types of vegetables, introduces plant growth cycles, and tells how vegetables are grown, processed, and distributed — even how to grow your own garden.

Because much of the "story" is told in pictures, this is also a perfect book to browse with the young children. They will eagerly absorb new words and ask for more! By Gail Gibbons. Paperback, 32 pages. Ages 3 - 8.
