Gail Gibbons’s books are particularly accurate because she goes right to the source when researching a topic. She has been on the seventeenth floor of a skyscraper in progress, has spoken with truck drivers about the workings of their rigs, has dismantled every clock in her home, and would have donned scuba diving gear to research a sunken ship had the sea waters not been too turbulent. Gail says "I had a lot of ‘whys’ when I was a child. I guess I still do."

This book is really perfect for my 4 year old grand daughter. It was part of a birthday "set" that included a sun hat, gardening gloves, and gardening tools . The book is colorful and informative without being text heavy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book presents complex information in a simplified manner.
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024
Verified Purchase
The information in this book is straight out of a middle school life science class, yet it is presented in a more simplified manner. The illustrations help the child understand the plant parts. The information might even encourage the child to look for those parts on a plant in their own yard. Any inquisitive child should have the opportunity to see/hear/read this book!

This is a well written and illustrated book that details the life cycle process of a plant growing from seed to plant, hence the title. The pictures are large and colorful, and the sentences are short and concise-written so a young child can understand. I have used this book with pre-K and kindergarten students, and even 4th graders love it! Now my 14 month old loves to look at it. I would recommend!
