Harvest takes place all through the year in the United States. There are carrots and pineapples in January, strawberries and salmon in April, green beans and watermelons in July, turkeys and peanuts in November. In a wonderfully clear and concise text, Cris Peterson gives readers a month-by-month sampling of the wide diversity and volume of crops grown throughout the United States. Alvis Upitis provides a stunning array of photographs, capturing the brilliant colors of the fields and orchards, the amazing variety of workers and machines, and an engaging assortment of children sampling foods from the year-round harvest. This impressive author-photographer team once again offers an inside view of agriculture, showing readers there's more to a bag of groceries than meets the eye. At once an introduction to the months of the year, the geography of the United States, and the technology behind an important industry, Harvest Year is a rich bounty for all ages.
