Examines the history and statistics of peanuts, their
agriculture and influence.

This book is exactly what the title says it is. It is about the life and times of the peanut. It tells you about where it came from, how it is used, where it is grown, who grows it, and more. Along with a general description of what is being talked about on a certain page, the book also goes into detail about a certain topic on each page. If you want to know about the peanut and its history, this is a great book.

As a student I liked the amount of information that was given in this book. It presented it very well and used the illustrations perfectly with the text. The pictures were actually very helpful. There were some words that I didn’t know and the pictures helped me understand what they were talking about.

As a teacher this book would be great to use with a student who is interested in the history of the peanut and/or what it is used for. Also if the student is interested in who invented more than 300 uses for it or who uses them the most. A very good non-fiction book. ( )
