5.0 out of 5 stars
great book on cotton
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.
