Reviews

Displaying not only the origins of each food item as a living thing from the root to the chicken coop, the interactive visual literacy presentation also asks readers to draw conclusions based on their own observations. The connection between where food originates and how it comes into our homes helps to fill in knowledge gaps in nutritional and agricultural science. There is a magnificent visual diversity of the foods that brings something fresh to unfamiliar readers, from spotted beans to purple carrots. The recipes and activities included at the end of each title help ground the ideas in the real world through their personal interactions with the foods, though parents will have to assist. VERDICT Appetizing pictures of farm-to-table foods will fill readers of 'Food Field Trips' with delicious excitement and the recipes will have them coming back for more.--School Library Journal -- Journal (4/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
