From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-Gail Gibbons's introduction to plant growth and reproduction (Holiday House, 1991) offers clear yet basic information about the entire plant cycle from seed pollination to mature growth. Included at the end of the text are simple facts about seeds and plants as well as a "From Seed to Plant" project that explains how to grow a bean plant. Gibbon's distinctive bold and colorful illustrations include easy-to-read labels, with simple and clear descriptions throughout the text. Erin Mallon's reading is clear and well-paced, allowing students to read along easily. Page-turn signals are optional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, simple explanation of plant life. August 21, 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book's big, colorful illustrations and simple language do a superb job of explaining subjects such as plant reproduction, seed dispersal, pollen transference, and seed germination. Although intended for a younger audience, I read this book aloud to my fourth grade students to quickly build their background knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for teaching about seeds. July 16, 2000
Format:School & Library Binding
This is an excellent book for younger students (K-3) about seeds and plants. I am using it as part of my summer school reading/writing program. First, I read the book to the students and we planted little radish seeds (they grow quickly) in see-through plastic cups. Later, the students read the book out loud to one another and we discussed the seed to plant concept. They also kept a journal to record their observations of their seeds with illustrations about every other day. This book presents a great opportunity to combine reading, writing and science.

3.0 out of 5 stars Suggested for second grade and up March 3, 2011
By RU girl
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used this book in a kindergarten class and the students loved looking at the pictures but could not grasp the text. I would suggest using this book for second grade and up to teach about plants growth. The pictures are clear and realistic.
