This review is from: The Victory Garden Vegetable Alphabet Book (Library Binding)
While the "Victory Garden" aspect of this title might be a bit misleading, it does the book a great disservice to judge it based only on that issue -- Jerry Pallotta has, as usual, presented a lot of information in a clear, engaging format that my kids (ages 4 and 6) and I found very interesting.

Misleading title,
By SamIam (South Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vegetable Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Paperback)
While a perfectly fine introduction to vegetables, there is precious little information about the Victory Gardens in/of World War II. The illustrations of children dressed in mid 90s or later garb also negates the World War II-era/Victory Garden concept.
