EL (K-3) ESSENTIAL
In the small villages in China, some years there was a great harvest of rice - even enough to take to the city, but some years there was barely enough to feed the village. Then the farmers introduced pesticides - but they only make things worse, until a scientist named Pu Zhelong comes and teaches the farmers how to put nature back in balance.
What a great message, to let nature take its course (with a lot of help from people). So well told, and the illustrations are great! Includes a history behind the story and bibliography for further reading. This book would complement a lesson on entomology, the dangers of pesticides, or China.
