From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 1—Each book in this illuminating series guides readers slowly and methodically through the process something takes to get to its final form. Colorful photos illustrate the steps and are filled with fine details. From foods (chocolate, corn, honey, peanut butter, apples, salt, ice cream, and milk) to playful products (baseball bats and crayons) to creatures (butterflies and frogs), readers will gain an intimate knowledge of the world around them. The easy reader format includes one-to-three lines of text per spread, which gives readers plenty of time to use picture clues to decode unfamiliar words and pore over the interesting photos that show the steps along the journey. The selected photos show diverse groups of people who have a hand in bringing these common items into our lives. VERDICT For story times, caregivers, and emerging readers, this series is an exciting look at everyday miracles. A first purchase.
