Celebrate Wheat is the fourth book in the Kansas Farm Bureau
series of books about Kansas Agriculture after the books, Milk Comes From A
Cow, The Soil Neighborhood, and Farmer and Ranchers Care for Their Animals.
Kailey is getting ready for her birthday pizza party. She is super excited, but has a question for
Grandma. In her previous adventures, she
has learned where hamburger and the other toppings come from, but wants to know
about the crust.
The book shows beautiful pictures of farmers planting wheat,
when the wheat is green and growing (like ours is now) and when it is ready to
harvest.
I love the picture of the combines going through the field
to harvest the wheat and unloading the kernels into the waiting trucks.
Kailey learns that the wheat is ground into flour that we
use to make bread, pasta, cereal and even pizza. She also shares all her new found wheat
knowledge with all of her guests to her birthday party.
The Flat Aggie report from Kim’s County Line has some very
similar pictures from the book that you might enjoy.
