Written and photographed by award-winning author Raymond Bial, The Super Soybean teaches kids and young adults about the amazingly useful properties of the humble soybean, from food source to ingredient in fuel, plastics, soap, medicine, and more. The agricultural process of growing and harvesting soybeans, as well as the history of the soybean in American economics and culture, is also discussed. Featuring splendid, full-color photography on every page, The Super Soybean is an informed and informative educational account, ideal for young people who are ready for significantly more complex reading material than the average picturebook. Highly recommended.
