Bread Comes to Life: A Garden of Wheat and a Loaf to Eat
PreSchool-Grade 1– Simple, rhyming text and beautiful, close-up color photographs celebrate "the most ancient food that is still part of the modern diet." Opening photo spreads show multicultural kids clowning around with breads in a multitude of shapes and sizes. Later pages follow a baker step-by-step as he makes a gleaming loaf of whole wheat, beginning with the wheat seeds he plants, harvests, and grinds. The rhyming lines include quite a bit of information, despite their brief length, and they take on the rhythm of a chant, which, along with the outstanding color photos, make this an excellent choice for reading aloud.
