April showers bring May flowers! Here is a great nonfiction science book that teaches about the plant life cycle and flowers.
Kids will learn the steps it takes for a seed to flourish into a beautiful flower. The text is simple to understand without being overwhelming. It also has very detailed illustrations about seeds, soil, the role of decomposers, water/minerals, sun and pollinators. All the many important things needed that make a flower bloom. The artwork is captivating and in beautiful, earthy hues with so much information to view on every page. Whether it is read in a large group, small group or one-on-one, there are numerous things to learn and discuss from beginning to end. It makes a wonderful accompaniment for a plant unit or even planting your own flower or vegetable seeds to watch them grow. Kids would be excited to document their findings. It encourages them to think about science, nature and the importance of flowers to our planet. This is the first book in a new series from this author and I am really looking forward to reading many more from her. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 5-9.~
