SynopsisFresh retro artwork lures little readers on a tasty trip to farms, dairies, and more. Yum The best part of a young child's day is often opening a lunchbox and diving in. But how did all that delicious food get there? Who made the bread for the sandwich? What about the cheese inside? Who plucked the fruit? And where did the chocolate in that cookie get its start? From planting wheat to mixing flour into dough, climbing trees to machine-squeezing fruit, picking cocoa pods to stirring a vat of melted bliss, here is a clear, engaging look at the steps involved in producing some common foods. Healthy tips and a peek at basic food groups complete the menu. Back matter includes an index., Fresh retro artwork lures little readers on a tasty trip to farms, dairies, and more. Yum!
