ABOUT THE BOOK
Popcorn, corn on the cob, breakfast cereals – corn is used in many of children’s favorite foods. But what is the story behind this popular grain? Gail Gibbons dishes up the details about corn’s cultivation, uses, and more, offering a cornucopia of information in her typical style. (And be sure to have copies available next winter to celebrate National Popcorn Day on January 19.)
Because the “Corn Belt” is highlighted by Gail Gibbons as the highest corn-producing region in the country, children from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin will be especially fond of a book that celebrates an important natural resource grown right in their own backyard!
