This nonfiction book gives details about everything corn, including when it was first grown, different types, the harvest process and the ways corn is used in everyday products. The illustrations are colorful, informative and I liked the use of corn kernels in the book title. As a reader, I enjoyed the lesson about natural resources and the connection to foods we eat every day. As a teacher, this book could be used during a lesson about nutrition to show children that corn is used in many of their favorite foods, like popcorn and cereals. Students could also learn about the history of agriculture in America, including other grains and crops. It would be fun to bring in popcorn to eat while reading this book as a class.
