Review
This non-fiction picture book is part of the series Start to Finish. Just as the title suggests, readers are taken through the process of milking the goats, pasteurizing the milk, separating curds and whey, aging and salting the goat cheese. The format provides one sentence in bold text followed by a paragraph in simple sentence structure on the left and a stock photograph on the right on each two page spread. The choice of goat cheese will introduce readers to a new food item. This title would be useful in nutrition themed story times and also provide teachers with supplemental common core information. One quibble about the pictures is that some people preparing the cheese wear gloves while other times bare hands are shown picking cheeses up and forcing cheese into molds. This series is popular with younger readers who are interested in how things work.
