Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-6-It's common knowledge that girls need a lot of encouragement to consider science as a viable career choice, and this book was formulated to provide that push. It begins with a brief discussion of the behavior and uses of plants. The authors also explain what it is that botanists do and what drew Bozak to the field. Unfortunately, the text is donnish and dry despite its autobiographical appeal. The five "plant science lessons" that conclude the work are relatively simplistic, while portions of the text are rather technical. Katz's gaudy illustrations are merely decorative and lend a picture-book air to the slim volume. Bozak is enthusiastic about her chosen field but her inspiration is muted and diluted by the constraints of the series format.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
