     Most people recognize coconuts as being round and hairy with hard shells. But did you know that even though they look like nuts and their name makes them sound like a nut, they are really fruits? Coconuts grow on palm trees that can grow to be 90 feet tall, and each tree can actually make 75 coconuts a year! Coconuts aren’t just useful as fruit, but they can also produce oil, juice, and milk!

     You can learn how to make coconut syrup, a popular treat from Jamaica, in Enslow’s Easy Breakfasts From Around the World. This recipe, along with many others, is included in this title filled with fun facts about how people from different countries prepare their morning meals. It is part of Enslow’s series, Easy Cookbooks for Kids, which includes other titles such as: Easy Desserts From Around the World, Easy Lunches From Around the World, Easy Main Dishes From Around the World, Easy Snacks From Around the World, and Easy Vegetarian Foods From Around the World.  Color photographs and illustrations highlight lots of information about different foods and countries, plus there's even great recipes to try!
