Gibbons' succinct text narrates brightly-illustrated frames covering every step of a seed's journey through pollination and maturity. Drawings focus attention on one detail at a time, clearly breaking down a complicated process for young scientists to examine. This prepares them well for the extension activity at the book's end. A no-nonsense presentation. With colorful, fun illustrations and delightful, lighthearted text, children can learn about the life cycles of various types of plants. Includes a "From Seed to Plant Project."
