The World Came To My Place Today
Dr Jo Readman, Ley Honor Roberts
The world really does come to visit George when his grandpa arrives, with a globe, to look after him and his sister for the day. Grandpa explains how everything from the cereal they eat for breakfast and the chocolate bars they love, to the rubber in their bicycle tyres and wood in their toys, come from plants all over the world. The lively, simple text follows George’s day as he discovers the wonder of plants and how they affect his daily life. With eye-catching, quirky illustrations coupled with photographs of the original grasses, fruits and plants on the right hand side, this highly original and entertaining book follows the ethos of the Eden Project by increasing awareness in children of the natural world around them.
Reviews
I really enjoyed this informative book. I loved the pictures and learnt lots about where in the world different things come from. I was really interested in the map of the world at the back of the book that showed the origins of the items that I had just read about and enjoyed talking about the different countries. A really interesting choice from the library. I would recommend reading this book.

I gave it 5 because it was good and tells where all the food I eat comes from. It was very interesting. I think someone who wants to know where their food comes from would enjoy this book.
