Critique- Picture Book/Counting Book/Concept Book

This is a counting book that starts with ten seeds and what happens to each seed as it comes into contact with animals, people, and objects.

Count to 10, watching the animals in the garden interact with seeds. "Ten seeds, one ant. . .eight seeds, one mouse." Allows a lot of interaction. A good lap book. Could be used successfully with a small group of kids who can touch the book and count.

A nicely done little book that combines counting with life cycle of plants. Ten sunflower seeds are planted, but only one finally flowers. A reverse counting book, as each seed succumbs to various hazards (bird, ant, cat, dog, greenfly, and so on). At each stage the plant has grown a little more, following it through from germination to flowering. At the end, the sunflower dies, and ten more seeds drop out.

A fabulous book. It illustrates the life cycle of ten seeds, of which only one becomes a beautiful sunflower. A very enjoyable and educational book with stunning illustrations.
