A dandelion can teach much about seeds and seasons and cycles, and the big world that a wind-blown seed can travel, but it also can make us appreciate the challenges it must overcome. This gorgeous book is at once simple and profound. You may be surprised and pleased by the questions and observations of your children after reading this together.

This review is from: The Dandelion Seed (Paperback)
This has been my son's favorite book for about 2 months now (he's almost 2). The illustrations are extremely realistic, showing in fantastic detail the journey of a little dandelion seed.....A truly magical book!

By Geri (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dandelion Seed (Hardcover)
The simplicity of this book and its beautiful illustrations will appeal to young readers, and the messages about trust, letting go and the cycle of life are quite beautiful.

A sweet little story,
By
This review is from: The Dandelion Seed (Paperback)
This is the sweet little story about a dandelion seed that will not let go because it's afraid of the world. Eventually, the winds blow it free and it travels the world and learns that it can be amazing, scary and beutiful. Eventually, it lands, grows, and casts it's seeds. One does not want to go and the dandelion having learned tells it the sun, the wind and the rain will take care of it.
The art work is well done. However, I am not sure my daughter likes the book. She does not ask for it. However, it's soft reading style does help make her sleepy.
