Review covers the following From Farm to Fork titles: How Do Animals Give Us Food? and Where Do Grains Come From?.

(4) K-3 Farm Animals series. This series follows a simple pattern addressing how farm animals look and behave and how humans interact with them or use products such as milk, meat, and wool. While information is superficial, the text is easy to read and illustrated with lively stock photographs. A concluding picture guide to four of the animal's activities is unenlightening (e.g, "drink water" and "rest"). Glos., ind.
