Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

Seeds and kids start out small and grow wondrously, which may explain some of children's fascination with planting, growing, and, subsequently, exploring their environments. With sentences that mimic the cumulative pattern of ``The House that Jack Built,'' Hickman's hand-sized book uses the backyard garden to investigate plant life cycles. Each page has a fold-over flap that reveals further facts and illustration details relating to the page's topic. Sam plants his vegetable seeds; behind the flap are close-ups of the sprout's growth underground. When a bee pollinates a flower, an opened flap reveals its hive. The vegetable garden the children plant in the beginning of the book is harvested at its end; each vegetable and fruit is cut open to reveal more seeds--the completion of the cycle. It's been done before in many other books, but this version, with its lush illustrations of a bountiful garden, is a summertime treat. (Picture book. 3-9) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Review

This is a very special little book that just begs to be shared with someone sitting on your lap. The friendly illustrations are filled with charming details.This book makes easy work of a possibly confusing topic. Best of all, the edge of each page opens with a cleverly designed flap which gives the reader a closer peek into the subject. (Care for Kids )

This clever format provides two levels of text: one a simple story for quite young readers, and another, under the flap, a more involved scientific lesson. (Quill & Quire )

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Facts!, January 26, 2000
By Susan B. Nelson (Williamsburg, VA) - See all my reviews
I really enjoyed this book that I donated to our school library. I seldom see books that are both non fiction and fiction in one edition. The illustrations were great and the flip format was fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on the plant life cycle, January 30, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The life cycle of a plant from seed to seed is beautifully illustrated and told as a story in the rhythmic pattern of the "House that Jack Built". Each page has a flap and under each flap is more information about plants, the garden and its other inhabitants. My 3 year old enjoyed the book and the flaps. I'm not crazy about the flaps because I'm afraid he is going to tear them up, but that is my only complaint about the book. The illustrations are detailed and visually interesting. It kept my small childs attention and he would have liked that I left the book with him. An improvement would be to republish the book with all the same information but make it a board book and no flaps.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection, March 25, 2003
By A Customer
This book has been great fun to use while planting our garden. It helps speed the process along to show what will happen next, plus has great illustrations to show what happens under the ground. This entire series of books is top-rate.
