Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-This simple book introduces children to plants and to backyard and pond life. Each spread begins with a question, such as "Where do plants come from?" or "Why do bees hum?" followed by a simple explanation. Unfamiliar terms are italicized and defined in the text and in a glossary. Each short chapter features an easy, related experiment as well as a theme-related riddle. Additionally, each spread includes a trivia blurb and a small, button-shaped picture demonstrating a handy tip. The colorful illustrations and large text make this volume accessible and inviting, and children will enjoy taking the appended 10-question review quiz. A good purchase for libraries seeking an introduction to botany.
