Simply Science: Plants

"Children are introduced to the world of plants in this easily understood, colorful book. Fossils demonstrate that plants lived millions of years ago. The process of growth is explained from the plant's drawing water and minerals from the earth to producing food through photosynthesis... Insects, such as bees and butterflies, aid in the cycle of seed production and new plant growth. Birds help distribute seeds by eating fruit and dropping undigested seeds in new locations. Many uses of plants are discussed. Although plants are used for food, they are, also, used to make clothing, medicines, and paper. A glossary at the end of the book explains words that appear in bold print throughout the book. Additional resources on the web and at the library are listed at the end of the book." -- Children's Literature
