Nice amount of information presented in an early reader format. Learn the basics about how cranberries grow and are harvested. Could be good for a thanksgiving time read.

A simple start to learning about cranberries.

The Welcome Book offered an easy reader glimpse at cranberries: text on one side and a full page picture on the other side. It was the best book I could find at the moment to share knowledge about cranberries to young listeners. Cranberry beds are called "bogs" in the book, but they are called, "marshes" here.

Buy every Welcome book you ever see for your kids. These folks understand that there is a limit to the amount of info you can dump upon a kid in a book. We must have a dozen welcome books and every single one is a quality selection.

This is a very basic book about cranberries. I wish it had more science in it.
