5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book
This book is excellent. It has beautiful visuals that are well organized. It covers history, lands, colonies, slavery, growing, the vanilla bean, etc. One gains a great sense of vanilla history and its impact on different cultures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple but still interesting
It is a simple book with large images, maybe more for young teenagers than adults. On the other hand, it provides good information and it is easy to read and comprehend. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an easy-reading back ground on the history and the making of Vanilla

This review is from: The Biography of Vanilla (How Did That Get Here?) (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It has beautiful visuals that are well organized. It covers history, lands, colonies, slavery, growing, the vanilla bean, etc. One gains a great sense of vanilla history and its impact on different cultures. Reading level is at least junior high (lower if you have an advanced student). Students may need a guidarama or graphic organizer help to help them comprehend the text which is jammed with interesting and salient ideas. I had a troubled student work on this and he made a map of vanilla lands, a vanilla timeline, and vanilla ice cream from organic beans. He loved this book so much that he later requested a project on the Biography of Bananas (which ....alas, is it turned out was not such a great book). Despite my burn from Biography of Bananas, I liked this book so much , I will definately check out others in the series.
