Editorial Reviews

Review

"A clear, informative introduction to eight groups of vegetables....A simple, effective approach to the topic." (School Library Journal ) --School Library Journal --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist

With so much national concern about child obesity and nutrition, this accessible, inviting introduction to vegetables, aimed at the picture-book crowd, is certainly timely. Following the tried-and-true formula found in her previous titles, Gibbons matches concise, simple text with bright, cheerful watercolor-and-ink artwork, and she adds more information in text boxes placed within the pictures. The facts range from the most basic ("It is good for us to eat vegetables. They are nutritious.") to the more advanced, such as a definition of hydroponics. Gibbons' survey is visually inclusive; the pictures show families of all shades enjoying vegetables in different ways. And the scenes in the garden, and then on the farm and at the supermarket, show both small- and large-scale production. A final page adds more interesting veggie trivia. For complementary titles about vegetables and how they're grown, pair this with George Ancona's Harvest (2001) and Deborah Kogan Ray's Lily's Garden (2002), as well as the books featured in "From Seed to Harvest," in the November 2006 issue of Book Links magazine. Engberg, Gillian --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Simple descriptive but not explanatory categorization of plants we eat

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

Mostly describes different categories of vegetable by the part we eat and lists some in different categories. Doesn't really explain much about why we eat different parts of different vegetables or what we get from them. My under-four child enjoys it and finds questions to ask, though, so pretty good science book for little kids. Nice change to add into the rotation with story books.

I think From Seed to Plant is more interesting in describing how plants reproduce and grow, though.

a book that grows with your child

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an awesome book that can grow with your child and teach a variety of important facts about some of the foods they see and eat. There is a lot of information that can be used in a lot of ways, at different comprehension levels. I ordered this book, and its companion book "The Fruits We Eat" for primary school lesson plans. One look through this book and my mind was whirling with all the different activities and learning approaches possible. It is bright and colorful, with pictures and information to keep your interest, at any age! I LOVE THEM BOTH!

I appreciate the size of the pages so it can be used for large and small group teaching. I like that everything is labelled and also the addition of a garden and farming pages are welcoming because I live and teach where we don't have soil to generate gardens. Illustrations of farms, food and equipment is accurate.
