Product Description

Product Description
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. I wish the world could really come to visit me ...And it does. Join George as he drinks orange juice from Spain, eats rice from China and sets sail for Africa in search of chocolate! Children everywhere will be amazed to discover how plants from all over the world affect their daily lives. Inspired by the Eden Project in Cornwall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Buy it!, 8 Oct 2005
By A Customer
This book is great! My 2 year old loves it and is learning where things come from all the time! The story is that Grandad is explaining to a very bored little boy where all the items that are delivered from the supermarket come from. Illustrations and photos are coupled together fantasticly and you really do feel as though your children are learning something! Buy it, I have and several others as presents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely , 1 May 2006
By young man (uk) - See all my reviews
  
A great book with beautiful pictures.
This book is great for starting discussions about where things come from, what it was like before we could import these things, how our lives have changed etc.
A simple text is engaging and educational, put simply a lovely charming book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Geography in our homes, 16 Feb 2009
By E. Brennan (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was fantastic. I used it to introduce a Geography lesson to Year 1 children about where the food we eat comes from. The kids were captivated by the book. We then went on to mark some of the food on a world map.
