Product Description
by Alice Dickinson (Author)
Plants grow almost everywhere in the world around us-in all sizes and shapes. Some are so small that they can be seen only with a microscope. Others, like the redwood trees of California, tower high in the sky. Plants grow not only in well-watered soil, but in oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps, in deserts, on rocks, far above the ground on branches of trees, on old pieces of wood, even on such unlikely things as crusts of bread, old shoes, or on top of arctic snow. Some strange plants eat insects, and others steal food from their neighbors.
The First Book of Plants is a comprehensive introduction to the world of plants, perfect for young learners who are curious about the natural world around them. With clear explanations and beautiful illustrations, readers will learn about the different parts of a plant and their functions, how plants make food, and the importance of plants in our environment. Written by Alice Dickinson, an experienced educator and nature enthusiast, this book is perfect for the young reader interested in exploring the fascinating world of plants.
