We eat so many different types of fruits. Sometimes just parts of the fruit, sometimes the whole thing, sometimes frozen or fresh. You can eat fruits raw or dried or frozen, or prepare them in all sorts of ways by cooking them. But have you thought about where all of this delicious fruit comes from? This book will tell the story of all sorts of fruit from start to finish! Fruit plants grow in different climates, and in different ways. We learn which fruits grow in the ground, in vines, in trees and on bushes. Fruits can be grown at home or on a farm, and can be found in the wild in nature of course. We learn the parts of fruits and the seasons they grow, how to pick or harvest. Then we follow the process for how the fruit leaves the farm, gets sorted and washed, packed and shipped and delivered to stores for us to purchase. There are suggestions for great ways to eat to keep your body healthy, how much fruits veggies grains and proteins you need, all based on USDA recommendations.
This is a bright and colorful illustrated book by author Gail Gibbons, and is a wonderful first glance for young children into where the fruit on their table comes from and how it gets there. Even as adults you’ll appreciate insight into the inner workings of growing fruits, farming techniques and much more. Next time you shop for fruit you should pick up a copy of this book to learn more about what you’re eating!
