Bread Comes to Life is a fascinating look at how a loaf of bread is made. Yes, bread. And it’s made from scratch. It’s a fascinating process.

The reader views the stunning photographs of different kinds of bread and the progression of sowing wheat, watch sprouts shoot from the rich earth, and then the wheat grows tall and strong. When the wheat is ripe, it is gathered and rubbed in a threshing box. The seeds are then ground into flour and the baker is ready to make bread!

The photographs in Bread Comes to Life are bright and represent each step in the process of bread making. Check out the last two pages and you will be given a wealth of information about wheat.

Bread Comes to Life is a must have for every home and school library. The telling of the story of bread making brings to life the very thing we eat daily and take for granted. I love this book and would love to see more in the vein of how things are made.
