A Seed is the Start and Me, All Alone, at the End of the World
"A Seed is the Start"
4 stars
Author: Melissa Stewart
Plants produce seeds that, if they get the chance, grow into new plants. Each plant needs enough room to get the water, light and nutrients it needs to grow. That leaves seeds needing to have ways to move to new areas before growing. This book is mostly about the various ways seeds move from one place to another, some of them unexpected.
The book is filled with excellent photographs. These are professional ones from various professional sources.
"Me, All Alone, at the End of the World"
5 stars
Author: M.T. Anderson
Illustrator: Kevin Hawkes
In the beginning a boy lives all alone out in the wilderness. He keeps busy listening to nature, finding fossils and riding his mule.
Then the promoter arrives with his plans for a hotel, activities, tourists and more. These amaze the boy who now has friends.
But, is this new life the one he wants?
The illustrations capture the essence of both the quiet life the boy lives and the frenetic pace the promoter brings later on.
