Wonderful book for the nature-minded child
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Very well-written book that covers the life cycle of a plant. The repetition is helpful for children (though a tad monotonous for the reader if it's been a long day already). It tells a valuable lesson, too: When the sunflower dies the book takes on somber tone, but then the reader sees all the beautiful new sunflowers that came from the seeds of the previous one. This lesson could be interpreted in so many different ways -- all of them lovely.
Good Read-aloud science book for early grades!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A wonderful read-aloud book for Pre-school through grade 2. Children love the rhyming repetitive verse and with the bold, beautiful illustrations by Donald Crews it will keep an entire classroom's attention. Very good book for a science unit on seeds. It's hard to find fun things to compliment a lesson on seeds, but this book fills that gap. Every elementary school library should have this book in their collection.
