Corn

Corn
by Gail Gibbons
As a native, born and raised to love the Hawkeye state and school (Go Hawks!), this book couldn't get any more spectacular! And the publisher's own synopsis of the book couldn't get any more accurate:

"Popcorn, corn on the cob, corn dogs, cornflakes--corn is used in many favorite foods. This book offers up the history of corn as well as the details concerning planting, cultivation, harvesting, and its many uses--a CORNucopia of information about a popular farm product."

And the illustrations... So colorful and educational! They appear to be done in ink pen and watercolor. Corn is packed full with facts, numbers, historical tales, beautiful and educational pictures, and uses for this book in the classroom!
