An excellent book for children to learn about plants...with flaps and full color illustrations and lots of wonderful information about nature.

Another book that would work well to integrate with science, this book would be great for lower elementary. The book follows the growth of a plant, from a peek inside a sprouting seed to the harvest of the fruit. The book suggests ways parents and children can explore and learn from nature. Could be done with a lesson having students grow a plant from a seed, and used to increase students interest in plants.

Eh book overall, but I gave it an extra star for its great close-up pictures!

This book, with fold-out pages, describes a watermelon plant's life cycle from seed to harvest.
