Editorial Reviews

Book Description
The reason for a flower is to manufacture seeds, but Ruth Heller shares a lot more about parts of plants and their functions in her trademark rhythmic style. "[An] extravagantly beautiful creation. It is unusual in its ingenious way of teaching botany and interesting words to the littlest of readers." -- Publishers Weekly "Ms. Heller's colors and drawings are as electrifying as ever." -- Los Angeles Times

Card catalog description
Brief text and lavish illustrations explain plant reproduction and the purpose of a flower and present some plants which don't seem to be flowers but are. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
