The Huckabuck Family: and How They Raised Popcorn in Nebraska and Quit and Came Back ReviewThis book is a satisfying follow-up to David Small's last twobooks, The Gardener & The Library. Though this is an old story its optimistic message suits Small's whimsical style beautifully. I'm thoroughly confused by the review in Kirkus that criticizes the repetitive nature of the names--this is part of Sandburg's poetic form--as well as the "pointless" nature of the Huckabuck family's travels, which is actually the whole point of the story. One must take a change in luck in stride, go out and find one's new fortune, and you may even find yourself back home having learned a thing or two. Cheers (& 5 stars) to the Huckabucks, Sandburg, and David Small.The Huckabuck Family: and How They Raised Popcorn in Nebraska and Quit and Came Back Overview

Popcorn at the Palace ReviewThis story is about an american farm girl who has a dream and a doll. Her doll is named after the queen of England who at the time was Victoria. Her dream was to meet the queen. One day the other farmers asked the girl why her corn looked so diffferent. She said its not corn, its popcorn. Then she gets an idea, her and her father would go to England because they have never heard of popcorn, but will she finally meet the queen?
I liked the book because it told a fictional story about a snack that almost every one loves, popcorn. The illustrations were good and the story was written very well. I think almost everyone will enjoy and understand this book. I also liked this book because it wasn't an ordinary picture book.This book had a story, it went very deep in character and it really got my attention. So if you like a good story, I suggest you read this book.Popcorn at the Palace Overview

Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America Review"Popcorn is America's gift to the world, and what a wonderful, fun-filled bequest it is."
Such is the very last line in the narrative section of POPPED CULTURE: A SOCIAL HISTORY OF POPCORN IN AMERICA. This very informative volume by Andrew Smith describes every aspect of this snack food, from its evolution on the cob in pre-historical Central and South America to 20th century "gourmet popcorn" in microwave bags.
While the book's title states this is a "social history", it seemed to me more a chronicle of the popcorn industry, especially in the United States, where popcorn was "invented", i.e. reached the citizenry's mass consciousness, in the first half of the 19th century. Smith has extensively researched every element of the saga: growers, processors, vendors, entrepreneurs, popping devices, packaging, flavoring, advertising, and target markets (both children and adults, at home and at the "movies").
Because so much of this book is a detailed narrative of the biz, it's not particularly fun, but rather like popcorn without butter and salt. There are too many passages like the following:
"... Wyandot (Popcorn Company) was sold to Vogel Popcorn, a division of Golden Valley. Golden Valley is now owned by ConAgra. ConAgra had previously purchased Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn during the mid 1970s. Jiffy Pop was sold in 1962 to American Home Products. In 1996 American Home Products was acquired by Hick, Muse, Tate and Furst, an investment firm, and it food industry management affiliate, C. Dean Metropoulos. Today Jiffy Pop and Franklin Crunch `N' Munch are part of International Home Foods, Inc., of Parsippany , New Jersey."
Why would any but the most obsessive of popcorn lovers, or business students, care?
POPPED CULTURE includes a small section of illustrations, and extensive sections dedicated to Notes and Bibliography/Resources. It also incorporates a 48-page chapter on historical recipes. Anyone for macaroni and popcorn, prune and popcorn pudding, popcorn omelet, popcorn macaroons, popcorn stuffed dates, popcorn soup, popcorn scrapple, popcorn and parsnips, popcorn and bacon, popcorn hash, popcorn with ice cream, or popcorn trifle? Uh, no. I think I'll just have the large tub ... with extra butter.Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America Overview

Popcorn For Breakfast ReviewPopcorn for Breakfast presents, as you might expect, as a romp, a comedy of manners featuring a certain kind of girl for our times. And there are certain elements in this novel you may have come to expect-- designer heels, luxury condos, and a canny protagonist wending her way through a fair amount of sex. But what makes this book different is a wry twist that deftly turns the genre on its head.
What I liked best about this book was the fine line the author walked with presenting Laurie. At first she is portrayed as an almost over-the-top, one hundred per cent brat-- on top of her game and entirely accustomed to getting her way.
But as the story develops the character comes to life and you may feel entirely differently about her.

The Popcorn Book ReviewI am student teaching and used this book in the classroom for a lesson pertaining to the overall theme of Thanksgiving and the Indians. The children were on the edge of their seats through the entire story. I used an activity after the book where students had a piece of paper with a grid on it. In each box, there was a number (1-10) that students had to trace. Then, they glued the popcorn kernels in the grid with the corresponding number. There are so many ideas and activities that can accompany this story! I encourage all teachers to use it...no matter what age level! (I used this in 2nd grade).The Popcorn Book Overview

Popcorn (Charlesbridge) ReviewPopcorn is one of America's favorite foods and collectively, we eat as much as 1,124,000 pounds of popcorn every year. Popcorn! by Elaine Landau examines the history, lore, science, and cultural significance of this popular treat which can be traced back to about 5,600 years ago accordingly to an archaeological excavation in New Mexico. Very nicely illustrated by Brian Lies, Popcorn! will prove to be as informative as it is fun for young readers ages 6 to 10.Popcorn (Charlesbridge) Overview
