Did you know that seeds can be secretive, generous, ancient, adventurous, clever, and, sometimes, naked? Lushly illustrated with ink and watercolors, this charming book introduces dozens of seeds in all their complexity to young readers. Each seed's quality is expanded upon in simple text, although author Aston doesn't shy away from technical terms. Growth stages, from seed to plant, of five kinds of seeds are compared in a beautifully laid-out chart.
