The tiny seed

This story follows the life of a seed. Through the seasons the seed is flying through the air with other seeds. It is a little seed. Several things happen to the bigger seeds that prevent them from growing and getting big. The little seed takes its time and grows bigger than houses. Autumn comes

and the flower looses its petals and the seed pod opens and the process presumably restarts. There is not much off a story but I like the book and the over all circle of life message. It is relatively short and good for read alouds.

I love the ilustrations in this book. It would be a good book to read if class was learning about plants.

It is a good book with fun pictures. It is a good book to use while teaching the seasons. It teaches not to under estimate even the smallest person because they can grow to be the biggest and most beautiful of all.

Love this book! I read it twice duing a plant unit to kindergarteners. We read it and then we drew a picture of our favorite plant and wrote about what it needs to grow. Some students wrote that the seed shouldn't catch on fire from the sun. I remember one girl was shocked that a seed could drown,

she just thought that was the strangest thing.
I figure if I could read this book twice with in two weeks and have 100% engagment with kindergarteners, then it must be a good book. Not only good, but educational.

This is a great informational book about how seeds grow and what they need to survive and what thing could harm them. As always with Eric Carle the illustrations support the text so well. This would be a great book to use in a lesson on how plants grow. In kinder I might have them draw a plant and

the main parts. I might also have them draw the stages.

Everything about this book is great and 4th and 5th graders would really appreciate the concept of the life of the seed to the flower. This would be a great book to use during the unit about how things in the environment grow and all that can happen to them along the way. I love Eric Carle's

book’s main theme is the life cycle of a flower seed. The book is fiction because at the end of the book the flower grows to be higher than the houses. This could not be possible! It relates to a state standard for first grade, where student must learn the difference between fact and fiction in science.
The book is about a tiny seed that is not as big as the rest of the seeds it travels with throughout the story. It goes through the seasons and proves to be the one seeds that survives at the end, and grows into the biggest flower the world has ever seen.
