(3) K-3 This introduction to corn begins with the history of the grain, first cultivated thousands of years ago by the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, then grown by Native Americans and embraced by European settlers. The text covers corn's physical characteristics, types, uses, planting, pollination, and harvesting. Autumn-hued illustrations convey the abundance of factual detail discussed.
