About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-- A photo-essay that follows the yearly cycle of a cranberry bog. Modern-day harvesting and processing techniques are shown and described. Text and photos are well integrated, as are the facts in the clear, well-written narrative that will be useful for students doing projects. The full-color photographs, many of which are closeup, take full advantage of the visual opportunities a red harvest gives. They are unfortunately not always well lit, so that a couple of shots are dark or underexposed. There is no index. A good introduction to this Native American fruit. --Sharon Levin, University of Vermont, Burlington

Review:

"With sharp color photos and a concise but meaty text, this is a first-rate examination of cranberries from blossoms to packing plant. . . . With few books published about cranberries, this volume has a distinctive flavor, good any time of year." (School Library Journal)
