WHATS THE EVIDENCE?

GROW YOUR FOOD

need a wheat field, a cow, a pig, a vegetable garden . . .

each book advises the child gardeners to start small, and
they all gain an appreciation for fresh ingredients and food
origins by the end of the book.

Now in paperback, four titles in this best-selling series

examine the evidenceor lack thereoffor these
supernatural legends. Booklist calls the series solid
stuff for teaching high interest critical thinking. Curious
minds want to know: are these things real? Read and
decide for yourself!
