Item description from seller

Paperback. I Know an Old Lady Who Wanted a Salad (2nd ed.) is designed to teach children ages 7-11 about growing a vegetable garden, healthy eating, and sharing with others. Children learn about the garden cycle-planning, preparing the soil, planting, taking care of the plants, harvesting, cooking the food, and sharing it with others. The book is bilingual, designed to teach English or Spanish vocabulary about the garden. Based on the song made famous by Burl Ives, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, this story can be sung to the same tune, helping children learn through seeing the pictures, studying the vocabulary, and singing the song. At the end of the book is a list of vegetables, numbers, and colors. There is a dictionary of nouns, verbs, and adjectives and recipes for soup and salad in both languages. Written by an emeritus professor of education and illustrated by Kelly Hollenbeck, age 15, the drawings in the Mexican context make the story vivid for young readers. The story was written to teach children English vocabulary about the vegetable garden at Los Ricos de Abajo, a small, rural school near San Miguel de Allende. The school garden supplements lunches provided by Feed the Hungry, a non-profit organization that builds kitchens in impoverished schools in and around San Miguel. It teaches children to grow their own food. All profits from this story benefit Feed the Hungry, which serves over 4000 students each school day. These meals make a big difference in student success. Growing a garden in schools and in homes is increasingly important to ensure good nutrition and healthy eating in the USA and in Central and South America. We had fun at Los Ricos holding up posters of the different vegetables the old lady swallowed each time they were mentioned. It made learning a fun game as we sang the song. Espanol Conozco a Una Viejecita que Queria una Ensalada (2nd ed.) esta disenada para ensenar a ninos de 7 a 11 anos de edad a cultivar un huerto, a comer sano y a compartir con los demas. Los ninos aprenden sobre el ciclo del jardin--la planificacion, preparacion de la tierra, plantacion, el cuido de las plantas, la cosecha, la coccion de los alimentos y el intercambio con los demas. El libro es bilinguee, disenado para ensenar el vocabulario ingles o espanol sobre el jardin. Basado en la cancion hecha famosa por Burl Ives, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, esta historia se puede cantar con el mismo tono. Ayuda a los ninos a aprender viendo las imagenes, estudiando el vocabulario y cantando la cancion. Al final del libro hay una lista de verduras, numeros y colores. Hay un diccionario de sustantivos, verbos y adjetivos con recetas para sopa y ensalada tambien incluidas. Escrito por un profesor emerito de educacion e ilustrado por Kelly Hollenbeck, de 15 anos, los dibujos en el contexto mexicano hacen que la historia sea vivida para los lectores jovenes. La historia fue escrita para ensenar a los ninos en Los Ricos de Abajo, una pequena escuela rural cerca de San Miguel de Allende en Mexico, el vocabulario en ingles sobre el huerto. El jardin escolar se cultiva para complementar los almuerzos proporcionados por Feed the Hungry, una organizacion sin fines de lucro que construye cocinas en escuelas de bajos recursos en San Miguel y sus alrededores. Tambien les ensena a los ninos a cultivar sus propios alimentos. Todas las ganancias de este libro benefician a Feed the Hungry, que atiende a mas de 4300 estudiantes cada dia escolar. Estas comidas marcan una gran diferencia en el exito de los estudiantes. Cultivar un jardin en las escuelas y en los hogares es cada vez mas importante para garantizar una buena nutricion y una alimentacion saludable en los Estados Unidos y en America Central y del Sur.
