Grow! Raise! Catch!: How We Get Our Food

A lively look at where our food comes from, and the hardworking people who produce it.

Farmers and fishermen show off their bounty in this celebration of agriculture and healthy eating!

Bright, enticing photographs of plants, animals, and the people who work to raise them are paired with an accessible text explaining the different kinds of farms that produce our food.  Fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, meat, eggs, and fish are represented, with notes on where and how they grow, and what we make from them. 

Grow! Raise! Catch! offers a breakdown of the farm-to-table process perfect for preschoolers and kindergarten students.  Includes a glossary of important terms introduced in the text, and an author's note on how eating fresh foods helps you stay healthy.
