One Little Seed
By Elaine Greenstein
(Check Catalog)

Follows a seed from the time it is planted until it grows into a beautiful flower.

Chris Gill - Children's Literature
Start with one little seed. Gradually apply thirty-three words. And, voila, you can walk your own budding gardener through the life cycle of a sunflower. Greenstein lays out her twenty-four pages with minimal text on the left page and gentle drawings on the right.

Watch the seed grow in its garden habitat with worms, butterflies, rabbits, and the like showing up throughout the growing season.

Witness each stage along the way: seed, root, sprout, bud, bloom, seed. We see the need for water and sunshine, too.

Greenstein's illustrations are simple, colorful paintings focused on each specific step in the process.

The book's small (approximately 8 inch x 8 inch) format is friendly to tiny hands. This is a simple and peaceful introduction to the world of botany for those early readers who still have feet in their PJs. 2004, Viking,
