Grades K-3 Starting historically with South American civilizations
and highlighting the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving, this illustrated
introduction covers the various types and varieties of corn and
their specific uses. Explanations and diagrams of pollination,
planting, and harvesting show both backyard and industrial
cultivation. A wide-ranging list of corn products and miscellaneous
facts are appended. Written for a
similar audience as Alikis Corn Is Maize (1975), this
discussion includes newer products such as ethanol and
biodegradable plastics that are impacting peoples lives. With her
characteristic ink and watercolor illustrations and well-organized,
accessible narrative, Gibbons has created another competent and
useful introductionto a familiar product for primary
classrooms.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008,
