Brooke Jorden’s “How Does Our Food Grow?” provides an enjoyable blend of entertainment and education for young readers. The book, written in verse and rhyme, takes children on a delightful journey into the world of agriculture. Kay Widdowson’s illustrations complement the book with their lively depiction of the plant-based wonders.
One commendable aspect is the inclusion of informative content, such as details on climate zones and kid-friendly recipes that encourage collaboration between children and adults. This book promotes healthy eating habits and offers a basic understanding of how various foods grow.
The vocabulary section at the end is a thoughtful addition, introducing young readers to new words related to agriculture and food production. This enhances the educational value of the book and supports language development.
“How Does Our Food Grow?” stands as a positive and engaging resource for children curious about the origins of their food.
