Simple text and photographs show how some fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts grow and are harvested.
Mindy Hardwick - Children's Literature
It is harvest time and the fruit is ready to pick. Come pick the strawberries from the plant or watch as the worker uses a ladder to harvest the apples. The potatoes are dug from under ground along with the peanuts. Choose a pumpkin from a vine and watch the machines cut and sort the wheat. Machines also shell and clean the corn. Early readers will enjoy learning about fall harvest with this book. Colorful photographs of pumpkins, corn, potatoes, and peanuts help young readers learn the words in this nonfiction book. A list of words to know, along with a small index will help early readers learn how to read a nonfiction text. The book is a good choice for pre-school or kindergarten teachers who are celebrating fall harvest with their classes. 2004, Capstone, Ages 3 to 5.
