5.0 out of 5 stars
great book on cotton,
By Jonathan Willing (Ashland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cotton Now & Then: Fabric-Making from Boll to Bolt (Paperback)
This is the best book I have read on how cotton is produced, and then made into fabric. My kids loved it and I learned a lot as well. There are great real pictures, and the illustrations are very good. I would recommend this book to anybody that wants to kow more about cotton, or just wants to have a good book to read.

Horrible text,

This review is from: Cotton Now & Then: Fabric-Making from Boll to Bolt (Paperback)
While the illustrations are fair, the rhyming text for this book is just horrible. The rhymes are forced and sing-song. Even my nine-year old daughter groaned. The contrast between present manufacturing processes and those of the past is not made clear. Some of the illustrations are simply inaccurate--such as the drawing of the spinning wheel which would never be able to spin or to twist the thread.
