1.0 out of 5 starsMisconceptions
By N. Karre on June 13, 2010
Format: Paperback
Although beautifully illustrated and well written, the book is full of misconceptions. Seeds, for example, only require the proper temperature and moisture to germinate and not soil and sunlight. The explanation as to why seeds do not grow in our stomachs is ludicrous! Teachers and students alike have germinated seeds in plastic bags, closets, and drawers with great success. There is also no sunlight beneath the surface of the soil, where most seeds germinate. The author needs to concentrate on fiction and acting and not try to educate young learners in scientific content.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for ages two to six
By Janet L. on April 12, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought A Fruit Is A Suitcase for Seeds as a gift for my son's preschool classroom during their spring study of plants, seeds, and gardening. It makes a great read-a-loud for ages two to six. The narrative is well worded, kid-friendly, and not too verbose. They served apples as the snack that day and the kids saved their seeds and planted them in handmade pots of recycled newspaper- several apple trees have sprouted!

5.0 out of 5 starsAttention Getting Book Title
By Grandma in PA on September 13, 2009
Format: Paperback
The children's book presents a new idea: a suitcase! It is a lovely piece of book, with information that children might not receive from adults. It is inventive and witty.
