A great read for Wisconsinites. Learned all about cranberry farming, which is integral to Wisconsin life.

Time for cranberries by Detlefsen_ Lisl H - Henry_ Jed
We live near the cape where they do harvest the cranberries every year and we've never seen it done.
Although this one is around a Michigan farm the process would be about the same.
Love the glossary of words used before the story. What a treasure-recipes using cranberries. I personally love them!
Love how they explain the process of the harvest.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Has solid classroom use and has good personal first hand information, but the story and the facts get to mixed up to make either really clear.

an informational picture book that shares about the harvesting process of cranberries. Reading this made me miss Massachusetts and Cranberry-Walnut Pies.

Informational picture book. Sam is a young boy who lives with his parents on a cranberry farm. He tells the reader all of the steps involved in harvesting cranberries-- flooding, booming, corraling, cleaning, and finally delivering the harvest. The whole process is done as a family, with lots of love and laughter along the way. This book is based on the author's own life on a cranberry marsh in Wisconsin. Back matter includes two recipes, author's note, and a glossary.
I enjoyed reading this book and seeing behind the scenes of a cranberry harvest. My only prior exposure was through Ocean Spray commercials(the author does mention in the back that they are part of the Ocean Spray collaborative- I had no idea that was an employee-owned company!). It is an interesting crop, and reading this makes me want to experiment more with it in my baking. Great for agriculture lessons or for a seasonal fall read.
