Whiteblack the Penguin Sees the World read by Mrs. Grover. Written by Margaret and H.A. Rey

https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/crViqlPTmS

Here is some interesting information about this book.

Both authors and illustrators of the famous Curious George series, H. A. (Hans Augusto) Rey (a self taught artist) and his wife Margret, a Bauhaus trained artist were German Jews who fled by bicycle just hours before the German army entered the city of Paris in 1940. The Reys went to New York in October 1940 where the Houghton Mifflin Publishing Company published Curious George among other titles. In 1999, during a visit to an exhibit of the Rey's work, Anita Silvey discovered that Whiteblack the Penguin Sees the World was one of the first books the Reys submitted for publishing, yet hadn't been selected for publishing back in 1940. Even though this book had been written back in 1937, it never was published until the year 2000!

Cranberry Harvest in Cape Cod, Massachusetts

 

"Cranberries only grow in certain climates and conditions. About half the cranberries are grown in Cape Cod, MA. They need water and sand. The plant is not a bush like you might think, but low to the ground. The farm we toured had certified organic cranberry status. The farm helps with the whole production. They have a pond/lake where they get water to flood the fields, sand piles, bees for pollination, ducks/animals to eat harmful insects, goats to eat the local poison ivy, etc. The harvester man drinks the milk starting a month ahead of harvest so he can become immune to the poison effects. There is a cycle and a purpose and things they do month by month. The dry harvest comes first—for fresh berries, then wet harvest (flooding) for processed berries. We were lucky to come during dry harvest and to see him doing that. They get twice the pay for organic berries but it takes more/different effort. She had fresh and dried (slighly sweetened but not as much as Craisins) cranberries for sale. We bought a jar of her bottled cranberry sauce: about 1.25 # cranberries, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup OJ, 1/2-1 cup sugar, depending on tartness and as desired. Cook and process."

 

"They get sorted by how they bounce into 3 divisions. Good bouncers, medium bouncers, and no bounce. No bounce berries are discarded and used for animal feed on the farm. Good bouncers go on to the visual sort, checking for color or imperfections. The mediums go in again to recheck the bounce." Pictures and information from Renae Weight Mackley during her visit to Cape Cod. She is an author and sister in law of Mrs. Grover
