The Fruits We Eat

Berries, apples, melons and grapes; oranges, grapefruits, bananas—yum! This scrumptious collection of facts, a companion to The Vegetables We Eat, offers youngsters an inviting, information-packed cornucopia of favorite fruits. Gail Gibbons combines clear, simple wording with her signature illustrations to present fruit facts galore: the parts of fruits, where and how they grow, harvesting, processing, where to buy them, and how to enjoy them as part of a healthy diet. Once again, Gibbons proves a master at creating factual books through which young readers can explore details of nature at an accessible and engaging depth.
