Everything is growing, good interaction, what does this grow into?

In celebration of spring new life is blossoming and growing everywhere. Nature grows just as people do. A story explain the similarities in the growth of nature and the growth of a child.

This book is a boy discovering things that grow like him. It goes through and explains how one thing can grow into something else. Some of the illustrations have text inside them and cover two pages. While some only cover one page and some not even whole page with text in white space. One pattern

is that the left page is a full page showing what plant or animal changed into. While the right not full page shows what is coming up once you turn the page. I think this pattern will allow the reader to make some of their own predictions then get a large picture as their answer. I would recommend this for a lesson in science on growth.

In this book shows a young child learning how the things around him grow just like he does.

Didn't care for this one. The illustrations are simple enough. I expected it to be all the nature thing growing like the boy, but in the end the baby was the only one compared to the baby.
