PB&J Hooray!: Your Sandwich's Amazing Journey from Farm to Table by Janet Nolan, Julia Patton

informative

3.0

Children's illustrated narrative nonfiction book. This book answers the question of where the ingredients for the omnipresent peanut butter and jelly sandwich come from. It traces the ingredients back to the store, to the delivery driver, to the factory/bakery, to the farm, and to the seeds. But throughout the journey, there is a refrain that is repeated that kind of jolts the reader out of the narrative. I'm not quite sure why the refrain is where it is, and why the grocery store shelves are mentioned so often. A good concept, which does address the modern factory reality of our food system, but still left much to be desired.
