This book has a good theme. The plot is how things grow. I know
I really liked this book. it would be a wonderful experiment in the classroom. I like the way it was written. It was simple and to the point.
In the classroom you could do as the book suggested and show bean plants at different stages. A teacher could do an experiment showing how plants differ in looks. The children could write or draw something they learned from the book.

that this can be accomplished by following the order of the book. There was no narrator to the book. The style was simple but understandable.I really liked this book. it would be a wonderful experiment in the classroom. I like the way it was written. It was simple and to the point.

What this book is NOT, to be clear, is a good read-aloud. It's tedious if used that way.
What it *is* is a good, step-by-step instruction of a basic science project for little ones. If you use it that way, reading every step as you go through it and not before, it's wonderful.

The book is about a boy who is planting a seed. The book goes through the process of planting a seed. Eventually, the seed grows. This book is great for children who are learning in science about seeds and plants.

This is a children's informational book about how a seed grows. It goes through each step of the seed process and what is needed for a seed to grow. This is a child-friendly information book.

In this story a little boy watches as seeds grow and observes the changes that they go through in the process. It is informative but is on a younger reading level so that children in K, 1st or 2nd can understand. Children will love looking at the pictures along with planting their own seeds!

If you're into gardening, then this book will tell you what happens to your seeds when you plant them in the ground. Tons of facts and drawings to help you understand plants.

could see as their own backyards. Many of the characteristics of the different plants growth is compared to that of a human, making it very relatable to little ones. This is very informative story, told in a fun way that will keep children reading. Show Less

Well, I didn't actually read this. My almost 5 year old daughter did! She just got it today, sat down on the couch, and read it aloud - cover to cover! Hardly need any help to boot! Her mother and I couldn't believe it! All 32 pages, one sitting, poof - done! By far the most she's read out loud to
