Synopsis
Provides information on how oranges are grown and harvested and how orange juice is extracted.
Meredith Kiger, Ph.D. - Children's Literature
Part of the "Where Does Our Food Come From?" series, this book profiles the nutritional qualities and production of orange juice. Designed to inform early readers about healthy eating, it begins by describing the nutritional qualities of orange juice followed by a brief description of how and where oranges are grown. The more complete description of the process of orange juice production and its eventual distribution to grocery stores will interest young readers. The use of the word "reconstituted" without any explanation seems inappropriate, however. Color photos, graphics and brief text combine to attract early readers. An index, glossary and resources for additional information are included. 2004, Weekly Reader Early Learning Library, Ages 7 to 9.
