Description/Notes
CA 2012 USDA Approved NE Materials Nutrition Picture Books In clear and eloquent language, Gary Paulsen pays tribute to a cycle of life--from seed to plant to tortilla. Workers till the black soil, operate the clanking machinery of the factory, and drive the trucks that deliver the tortillas back into the hands that will plant the yellow seeds. With Ruth Wright Paulsens expressive paintings,The Tortilla Factorybrings forth the poetry and beauty of a simple way of life. This title is beautiful to look at, and will also fit nicely into units on food, regional culture, art, and many other topics.--School Library Journal
