A fun story with maps and mazes shows children where their food comes from.

Ruby and Ned gather eggs from their hens and ride their red truck to deliver the eggs--to the farmer’s market, the restaurant, the school, the grocery story, and the bakery. The baker uses the eggs in her yummiest cookies--and gives them to Ruby and Ned!

  • Interactive: with 6 mazes and illustrations with fun details to “spy.”
  • Lots of learning fun: map skills, sequencing, STEM, communities,  and more.
  • Picture clues help children pick out important words.
  • Female role model: Ruby drives a truck and is a farmer.
  • Art style has the elegant charm of American folk art.
