[Ali Book&Seaglasshunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Early nonfiction reader. Grains are an important part of healthy diets. Readers can learn about types of grains and how they are processed into foods. I think the food pyramid steps could’ve been explained better (and I think it’s also no longer in use, so a bit dated).
