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,

Gibbons latest is a handy early reference book about the African
elephant. Beginning with where elephants are found, the text moves
on to look at early ancestors of the elephant and the specific
features that make it unique in the animal world: trunk, tusks,
thick skin, large ears, poor eyesight and large molars. Much of the
narrative focuses on the
social nature of elephants & how they live in family groups,
raise their young, find food and water and protect themselves.
Large titles at the beginning of each new topic and large-print
vocabulary words that are defined on the same page make this an
easily accessible resource for
children.
With colorful, fun illustrations and delightful, lighthearted text,
children can learn about the life cycles of various types of
plants. Includes a "From Seed to Plant Project."
By revealing activities of island residents through the four
seasons, contemporary everyday life in a New England fishing
village is presented.
