Reviews

Gr 2-3-Set at the author's beautiful Wisconsin dairy farm, this explanation of how mozzarella cheese is made begins with the birth of Annabelle's calf and ends with a pizza recipe. Nicely balanced pages contain brief blocks of clearly written text and many full-color photographs that take readers into the barn, onto the tank truck, and through the elaborate process of making cheese at the factory. Peterson includes ways of understanding amounts of things, e.g., Annabelle eats ``seven tons of feed in a year, enough to fill your bedroom to the ceiling twice.'' At the same time, she occasionally lapses into a condescending tone in an effort to connect with children. The book as a whole, however, is attractive and informative.-Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
