In this fantastic interactive guide—with pop-ups, pull-tabs, wheels, and flaps—children learn all about the origins of food and clothing and discover all the plants that people can't do without. For those who've wondered where sugar grows, what a chocolate tree looks like, or where jeans or bicycle tires come from, the answers are all here and are shared by friendly bees who guide the reader along their way. Inspired by England's Eden Project Botanic Garden, this ingenious, prize-winning volume is ideal for Earth Day celebrations in April.
