| Summary |
Describes the nature, dispersal, growth, and uses of seeds. The composition & functions of seeds are explored in this well-illustrated book that contains a special section of projects & activities involving seeds & plant growth. Through familiarity, adults often lose their curiosity and sense of wonder about the natural world. But children find even commonplace phenomena and experiences both educational and a source of wonder. Why is the sky blue? What makes a rainbow? Why are leaves green? These are common questions children ask. But explaining apparently simple things can be surprisingly difficult. |
