5.0 out of 5 stars Fun in the sun and air and water, October 21, 2004

By	Karen Woodworth Roman "www.librarians.info" (DeKalb, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Busy, colorful illustrations and dialog tells a story about photosynthesis. Mentions that plants get water from soil, air via holes in the leaves, and energy from the sun to make a kind of sugar. Explains that leaves are green because of the chloroplasts. A more detailed note at the end explains that the plants make carbohydrates from water, carbon dioxide gas, and sunlight. It mentions the holes in the leaves are called stomata and that water flows through xylem and sugars through the phloem. Karen Woodworth-Roman Children's Science Book Review
