Details: Review "The tape is grossly interesting. The real stars are the methods of production and manufacture, not the children. . . . learned about the ins and outs of a dairy farm, from how many times a day a cow must be milked, to quality-testing measures and bottling. The cookie part of the video is fascinating, as hundreds of pounds of flour and other ingredients are mixed in giant vats to turn out thousands of cookies a day. At times, the fact that the children were not professional actors lent to the charm and freshness of the tape. Sheer delight ran across their faces more than once as they watched cookies slide down conveyor belts, and already packed boxes jammed up at a conveyor intersection." -- Press Publications, July 1996"The video is not only a means of satisfying 3-8 year olds' curiosity about 'how' familiar items appear for their consumption, but provides exposure to the world of work in agriculture and manufacturing, as well as a realistic connection between classroom mathematics and occupational activities for the 8-12 year old viewer" -- Children's Video Review Newsletter, June 1996"What happens when two kids dream up a show-and-tell project while snacking on milk and cookies? In this case, a visit to a farm, dairy and bakery to see the origins of the goodies they've been happily consuming. The children serve as narrators, providing all sorts of intriguing information as the foods are processed. A warning: Everyone's likely to head to the kitchen afterward, looking for free samples.
