Clare's Tomato Production Review
This book really causes one to have to think on an adult level and child's level. It may be rather lengthy for a five year old or young learner, however, this will give a parent an opportunity to read, discuss, and actually participate in conducting an experiment of their own over time. This book allows for the critical thinking and problem solving skills to get into action. Re-enforcing these skills at home will better back up what the teacher should be doing in the classroom. It also allows the child and parent to explore educational avenues and experiences inside and outside of the home. FANTASTIC job of incorporating questions and activities throughout the book!!!
