Sunflower House

This is a great book for children. The story is wonderful. I will definitely use it is my Kindergarten classroom.

I loved the beautiful illustrations that are sure to be bright enough to catch even a young child's eye. I liked the simplicity and rythm of the text. I especially liked the child's viewpoint narrative and the cycle of life science that is woven into the story and the pictures. Above all I liked that the story celebrates one of life's simplest but grander pleasures.

Beautiful pictures. I read this book to my 3 & 4 year old sons. They thought it was really neat so we planted a sunflower house that spring. Even my 9 yr old son wanted in on the project. It was a great way to introduce not only the wonders of the plant growth process but also the responsibilty of caring for things that grow.

I absolutely love this concept book. My preschool children love it too. I have 4 & 5 year olds and this book is a great jumping off point to all sorts of Springtime themes! I have read many of Eve Bunting's books and all are wonderful; I highly recommend them all.

Looking for the perfect book for kids to understand the concept of 'how a seed grows'...? This one is great, and shows the development of the seeds, from beginning to end while bright illustrations show what fun the garden brings home to the little boy who grew his own 'sunflower house' and shared it with others. How one seed can grow into a plant that supplies even more seeds to sow, and bring pleasure not only for one season, but many seasons thereafter that others may enjoy as well.
