Summary:
This book offers a month-by-month presentation of the regional harvesting of food in the U.S.A. with photographs, maps, and simple clear text.
Teaching Ideas:
The seasonal geographical format encourages the discussion of the effect of seasons on the production, distribution, and cost of food. The book lends itself to text sets on farming, agriculture, and machines. Although the text does not label or describe the machinery in the photographs, some students might want to explore this area. As a supplement in a unit on nutrition, the pictures invite investigation of the nutritional and caloric content of pictured foods.
