About Crop Sprayers
Product Description Big farms need big machines, and crop sprayers are some of the biggest. Farmers use these timesaving devices to spread substances such as fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides on their crops. While readers learn about the different kinds of crop sprayers, their many parts, and their importance to the farm industry, they'll be impressed by the colorful photographs of the machines in action--including one in the air! The high-interest topic also touches on key science and technology topics. From School Library Journal Gr 1–3—Combining informative content with striking images, this set provides readers with a solid introduction to farm machines and the work they perform. Each volume alternates between a page of text and a full-page photo, engaging students' senses as they actively "read" the abundant images, including a computer-aided design of an intricate Iowa corn maze and a detailed cross section of planted carrots. Earthy browns and lush greens are abundant throughout the series, with the latter serving as the background on the text pages; here, the large black print pops against such a verdant backdrop. Facts abound, such as the weight of a small bale of hay (70 pounds!), while the vividly descriptive language and clear writing style should appeal to students with differing learning and reading skills. VERDICT A strong addition to library and classroom collections.
