I bought this book for my inquisitive 3-1/2 year old. I love books that teach her about nature and the world around us. The rhyming text can be a little awkward at times, but the illustrations are very nice. Sometimes we just look at the pictures in the book and talk about what we see and how plants grow.

I absolutely love this book!! I am in school right now with Biology and Environmental Science being my majors! My two boys absolutely love this book, and it's educational as well. I hope to find more like this one!!

Written by Heidi Bess Roemer (an advisor for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) and illustrated by Olena Kassian, What Kinds Of Seeds Are These is a rhyming picturebook that presents the stories of nine different types of seeds in question-and-answer format. The colorful and jubilant illustrations help convey a sense of appreciation for the world's natural wonders, and the final two pages encourage young readers to grow their own seeds for fun. A fine educational as well as entertaining picturebook. "Seeds are floaters and fliers and buried-alivers, / exploders and stickers and hitchhiking tricksters. / Seeds travel around in their clever disguises. / There are billions of seeds- / and they're full of surprises!"
