The Vegetables We Eat

Gail Gibbons never disappoints me. I love all of her books and so do my students.

The story of everyday vegetables and their importance in diet.

Leaf, root and stem are three of the eight groups of vegetables and here are details about these groups, from how they're planted and harvested to the basics of tending a home vegetable garden and making use of produce. Drawings accompany facts and add lively embellishments to the story of everyday vegetables and their importance in diet.
