Berry Books

A delightful book for children 4 to 9. The engaging dialogue and unique illustrations will bring you evenings of giggles.

I own this and all the Country Garden series of cookbooks. They are all visually gorgeous, and all written by professional chefs. Each book surrounds a featured ingredient which is seasonal. I must admit that many of the recipes could be considered "chi-chi," but for cookbook collectors, this series is really wonderful. I'm sorry they stopped adding to these books, and very sorry that they are going out of print.

This is a very thorough book, so there are berries here that you might not know about. There's a separate section for each of 18 different kinds of edible berries. Each section has its own recipes. And there are 13 sections about inedible, ornamental berries.

Plus, there is ample information about designing, planting and cultivating a berry garden, and preserving, drying and storing berries. Also, there's ample information about finding and harvesting wild berries and finding sources concerning berries.

Buy this book and you'll know your berries.

Aliene is a former classmate of mine, so I wanted to read her book. I am a first grade teacher, and am looking forward to sharing this book with children. It not only has engaging language, but also a great deal of information that can be integrated into our science curriculum. Well done, Aliene!!

I was so thrilled to see some old characters coming back instead of all these new and revamped ones! SG & PP look just as they did when us 30-somethings were young, and it's a trip to be able to give my daughter a book with these characters in it! We can't WAIT for the movie!

The Berry Book by Gail Gibbons is a cheery, fact-filled, highly recommended picturebook for young people who are just beginning to learn reading. All sorts of different edible berries are pictured with simple, cheery, full-color illustrations. From strawberries and blueberries to gooseberries and wintergreen berries, just about every berry type is presented for inquiring young minds. The last few pages teach how to grow your own strawberries, and how to make a blueberry pie, strawberry jam and raspberry ice cream.

Easily the best field guide to berries available. Cheap too. I am now using my fourth copy of this extremely useful little booklet: previous copies lost or "loaned". Others in the Nature Study Guide series are good but none live up to the high quality of this one.

I remember paint with water books from when I was little, so I'm always so excited to get them for my kids. They are great for vacation/business travel with the family. In hotel rooms they can use a q-tip and water and everything is easy to clean up. I think these are great for just about anytime!

Glowing with warm, earthy colours and generously adorned with animal friends, industry and magical chanting, this simple celebration of creativity and appreciation is pure joy.

My daughter is 6 and LOVES this type of sticker book still. She loved them at 3 and still loves them at 6 1/2. And we do read them often, so they're worth it :) Your child puts the stickers on the pages. It tells you what page, but it's up to her WHERE on the page it will go. She even looks back at the books she did when she was younger and laughs at the places she put stickers :)
