Corn

This book gives you everything you need to know about corn. You learn about the history and how our ancestors cooked it, to the different types of corn, and uses. This is a perfect book to read during Thanksgiving. The pictures are very eye-catching, and the information is interesting (weird, right?).

This is a very informative book about corn - the history about it, the different types, its uses and much more. I think a picture book supports children in learning new things and it makes a lot more fun than reading a stuffy book without pictures. Illustrations also help children developing their fantasy and creativity. A very well illustrated and structured book.

Gail Gibbons is a fabulous author. She writes informational children's books about almost any subject that you can think of. I enjoy this book because I learned so much about corn. This book shows all the different uses of corn that one may not think of such as in powder, paint, and glue. They are four different types of corn: sweet corn, flint corn, popcorn, and dent corn. Her illustrations bring the history of corn to life.

How to plant, grow, harvest and manufacture corn is explained in a very simple way. For children it is perfect to learn new words concerning harvesting and corn in general. Unfortunately, it is not really a story behind those explanations, but the pictures are very nice.

Everything you wanted to know about corn is in this book! This colorful book is chalked full of facts about corn; the history of it, how to grow it, what happens to it after it leaves the fields, and what types of food it makes. I love Gail Gibbons' books!

The book provides the history of corn and describes how it is produced. Corn was the main crop of the Mayan and Aztec civilization, and the native Americans grew corn as well. The Native Americans helped the Pilgrims grow corn, and since then it has been used in so many ways. The book describes how much time corn grows, what type of corns there are, and what products are made from corn. Sometimes I forget that corn is in many products, and this book reminded me of that. I enjoyed how the book explained how popcorn is made because I eat popcorn often. The book provides a lot of information about corn, and I learned a lot. I did not know that salad dressings contained corn. The book was very interesting to me, and for an activity I would show more bring different products that contain corn, and explain how corn is very important for products and for feed for animals. show less

This was a very cute story. My little girl loved it. We actually had just went and picked corn from my dads garden when I read this book to her i found at our local library earlier that day. When it was showing pictures about them picking the corn she said look momma I did that.

I would use this book to younger kids probably around Thanksgiving time. I would bring them some cooked corn on the cob so they could all taste it after we read the story. I would also have them draw a picture of their own garden with corn in it and how their garden would look like.
