Award-winning artist Sylvia Long and author Dianna Hutts Aston (An Egg Is Quiet) have teamed up again to create this gorgeous and informative introduction to seeds. Poetic in voice and elegant in design, the book introduces children to a fascinating array of seed and plant facts, making it a guide that is equally at home being read on a parent's lap as in a classroom reading circle.
by Bonnie Worth
With the able assistance of Thing 1 and Thing 2 -- and a fleet of Rube Goldbergian vehicles -- the Cat in the Hat examines the various parts of plants, seeds, and flowers; basic photosynthesis and pollination; and seed dispersal. From a Children's Literature review: "The book represents an impressive effort to engage young readers with scientific concepts and the natural world." Part of the Cat in the Hat's Lrning Libry.
