I love this book, as does my 9 year old son. From the texture of the cover to the instructions on how to grow strawberries yourself. We appreciate a book that does not require a "dark side". This treasure delivers it all: a cute story, a trip around the world, a brief lesson on economics and a nudge to the reader to start a garden of your own. This is an entertaining book for young and old, girls and boys, organic farmers and GMO consumers. I love the way the pictures and print are dispersed on the page. The idea that the child has questions that run so deep that it requires a quest is fun and enlightening. When do we stop asking the important questions and just care about the lowest price? I truly hope we see more from this forward-thinking author. Thank you for an entertaining and educational book that can be read in a single sitting to most children and deliver an important message. A must-have for preschool and elementary school classes and beyond!

I am always looking for fun books for my nieces, nephews and friend's children and this was recommended to me by a friend. I am happy to report I bought this for my nephew (the true critic) and he loved it. My sister said it has already become a staple in the bedtime story rotation.
