Publisher Description
Sink your teeth into the plants that feed the world—flowers, fruits, seeds, and all!
With its simple text and bright, appealing illustrations, this book is perfect for young readers learning about where their food comes from.
Clearly-labeled diagrams show the different parts of plants we use and eat—leaves of spinach and cabbage, the roots of carrot plants, and the wide variety of fruits, such as apples, berries, and tomatoes. Plants Feed Me explores the different types of seeds we eat— beans, nuts, rice, and even how wheat is ground into flour and used to make many other types of food.
Smiling children pick fruits and vegetables, and learn how plants grow from seeds, stretching toward the sky for sun and into the earth for nutrients. This celebration of fruits, vegetables, and more is sure to get kids interested in what's on their plates!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a celebration of growing (and eating) fresh vegetables and fruit, Rockwell's glossy digital artwork depicts upbeat children plucking apples, picking tomatoes, planting seeds, and watering gardens. A cross-section of a garden bed shows plants like asparagus, onion, parsnip, and beets, their roots fanning down into the soil; other pages focus on fruits ("Pumpkins, peppers, and eggplants are fruits too") and seeds, including beans, rice, wheat, and walnuts. The basic, declarative sentences and use of repetition "I eat different parts from different plants. Sometimes I eat the leaves. And sometimes I eat the roots and tubers" underscore the message suggested by the title. Rockwell treats each vegetable like a treasure; even kids with aversions to veggies may be intrigued. Ages 4 8.
