"A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And
the rain comes down, And the seed grows..." To understand how a
seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and
wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the
earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. With evocative
and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of
each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds
depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a
full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the
book explaining the science of plant life cycles. The final quiz
and suggested activities are a fun way to re-inforce what has been
learnt.
