Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Yulee and her four friends --- Nick, Pedro, Sally and Martin --- are taking a trip to her aunt's farm to pick apples and make an apple crisp for a potluck harvest dinner. Yum! But first, Aunt Sara gives the friends a tour of the whole farm, where they learn what it means to eat balanced meals, why eating local food matters and all that goes into getting food from farm to table. Who knew there was so much to learn about what we eat? It makes everything taste better!Award-winning author and illustrator Scot Ritchie uses accessible and entertaining language and familiar characters from his other books to encourage young children to make healthy choices about what they eat. Each stop on the farm tour introduces a basic food group: the field of wheat and oats for grains, the garden for vegetables, the henhouse for protein, the barn for dairy and the orchard for fruit. Ritchie's cheerful, busy illustrations invite children to look closer at the details. This is a terrific book for a science or health lesson to broaden young children's understanding of healthy eating and why local food matters. The potluck dinner includes a multicultural group of neighbors and provides opportunities for discussions about community involvement. There is an apple crisp recipe at the end of the story. Also provided are a table of contents and glossary.

"The book opens with Nick, Yulee, Pedro, Sally and Martin -- the five friends from Follow That Map! (2009), Look at That Building! (2011) and Look Where We Live! (2015) - about set off for Yulee's Aunt Sara's farm for some apple-picking. Their plan is to pick some apples to use in a dessert they will take to their neighborhood's potluck celebrating the fall harvest. While on their agricultural adventure, they discover how food is grown and produced before it ends up in their kitchens and on their plates. Each stop on their tour of the farm introduces a basic food group: a field of wheat and oats for the grains, the colorful veggie garden for vegetables, the henhouse for protein, the barn for dairy and its alternatives, and finally the orchard for fruit. After having some fun picking apples and then taking a break to eat a nutritious snack, it's time to go home to make an apple crisp. On the way, the kids spot a food terminal and stop in at a grocery store for some missing ingredients. Then with the help of Pedro's dad, all the kids play a role in making the crisp, including taking the food scraps out to the compost. Once the crisp is ready, the friends take it to the community center, where a multicultural group of neighbors has gathered to share homemade foods and celebrate the bounty of the season. Endmatter includes a simple baking activity (apple crisp recipe) and a glossary."-- Provided by publisher.
