A Fun Book About the History, Harvesting, and Benefits of Raisins (Recipes Included) Lisa Renee This is a good learning book with lots of cute and fun pictures. My mom got this book for our son a while back. It was perfect since we lived near Napa and grapes were everywhere there.

The book also covers harvesting and what you can make with raisins. Kids will learn why raisins are good and all the reasons they're good for you too. Besides the places that grow grapes and raisins today, there is a neat ancient history sec. "Reading teachers" according to Amazon Customer. Grades 5 and up.

Brown's heavily stippled, marker-and-pastel illustrations are fanciful and sprightly.

It may be the ideal book for an assignment; otherwise, it's likely to languish on the shelf.Dona Ratterree, New York City Public SchoolsCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. .
