TY - GEN AU - Watts, Barrie TI - Potato T2 - Stopwatch books SN - 0382095286 CY - China KW - Children's Literature KW - Potato KW - Fruits and Vegetables KW - Plant life cycles KW - Non-Fiction N2 - Of the recent books on potatoes, this is one of the better ones. The two-page chapters are attractive and visually appealing. The first of the two pages has a color photo or a black-and-white drawing in the center of the page. An average of seven or eight lines of text accompany the illustration on the facing page , which is a full page color photo. The text is brief as it should be on this level. The close-up color photography is excellent. While there are other titles in this area (Johnson's Potatoes Lerner, 1984), they are not for this reading level. A fine addition for primary grade nonfiction collections ER -
