Kids love field trips but they are not always possible or practical. This book offers a colorfully illustrated alternative beginning with a list of ""things to find out"" that helps to focus readers before the fictional field trip begins. --Children's Literature

Straight-forward, easy to understand text. --Clark County School District, Las Vegas, Nevada --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: Out and about at the Apple Orchard (Field Trips (Picture Window Hardcover)) (Hardcover)

This book is a perfect introduction to one of New England's best autumn traditions. Diane Mayr's lively text is appealing, and loaded with information. Her enthusiasm for the topic is obvious, and will be passed on to her readers. Parents, teachers, librarians, and kids will love this - and learn from it as well!

This review is from: Out and about at the Apple Orchard (Field Trips (Picture Window Hardcover)) (Hardcover)

We have an apple orchard in Indiana, and a librarian friend who has the fun job of reading and categorizing new books. She came across this one and said, "This is one of the best books I've seen for young readers that best fits the orchard. It even mentions the bees, limiting the use of chemicals, picking them by hand, and has an illustration of the apples being separated on a conveyer belt, it mentions cold storage, and has a big red barn for the store! I would swear that this writer or illustrator has been to CLO and used it as a springboard for creating the book!" We recommend it to people to read with their children before visiting the orchard. www.countylineorchard.com
