"Berries, apples, and pears, yum! With the help of the child narrator, the aptly named Granny Root grows berry bushes and fruit trees, harvests when it’s time, and then eats or preserves the bounty. This entry in the author’s four-book Follow My Food series provides a step-by-step account of fruit growing with simple words and colorful, stylized pictures. This concise U.K. import will satisfy young listeners or early readers curious about where their food comes from; it’s also a lovely example of intergenerational bonding… (g)entle encouragement for the youngest of gardeners."—Kirkus Reviews
