Reviews for Popcorn Country: The Story of America's Favorite Snack

The subtitle says it all. Big, bright color photographs nicely complement the informative text... (a) particularly clear explanation of the physics of popcorn is a highlight. The photographs, laid out in a pleasantly varied design, present a diverse cast of smiling children enjoying popcorn. Solid information and much food for thought. -Kirkus Reviews
