About the author

Here is some brief information about myself.

I’m interested in science because it helps us to understand the world. I enjoy finding out about new things and then working out how to write about them in a way that is both clear (and accurate) but which also conveys my own excitement and interest. I particularly like writing books that are fun, and I have been lucky to have had so many chances to do so.

I was born in Yorkshire in England, but grew up in Stranraer, a small town in south-west Scotland. I graduated from Edinburgh University and then came down to London, where I have lived ever since. I enjoy reading novels, watching films, and walking in the countryside.

None.
2-4
This story is about discovering how the life of a plant begins and what to do to make them grow. Also, why some trees loose leafs in the fall. This story answers these questions of how plant grows and their major steps to go through their growth process.
I didn't like this book too much of all of the information provided but also students will get to learn and question about plants and it even guides them to plant their own.
1.Have students grow their own plant.
2. Have students observe the plant after a few days.
3. Draw a picture of your own plant and two things that you need for it to grow (according to he book)

A great book for young readers to learn about how plants grow. Nice bright photos and easy to understand text make this a great book for elementary school learners.

Bloom and Grow - unit 2

[Anna Youssef]

Students will get to learn how a plant's life begins, and what plants to need to make them grow. Students will get the answers to their questions about plant life, as well as see some crazy pictures and diagrams. This would be a great book to introduce plants, and have students grow their own plants.

this book is information on how seeds turn into plants, how plants best grow, and other information regarding the growth of plants

[Jalen Tranbarger]

Plants have many major steps in their growth process. From seed, to a blooming plant, this book explores all aspects of plants. Many of the real life illustrations add to the content of the story line of this book.
