This book describes how flowers grow. It explains how pollen is distributed as well as seeds to grow flowers. The seeds grow into flowers if they find water, sun, and air and then grow roots. It explains how some flowers survive in dry weather and others in wet locations. It also teaches about animals that eat flowers and those that don't. At the end, it shows what we make from flowers.
This book would be amazing to read when starting a lesson on flowers. It has vivid pictures that would capture my student's attention. This book is appropriate to read for students in second grade and below since it is an intro on how flowers grow. I would use this to teach students how to grow their own flower since it describes what is needed. I would also use the book to teach students what happens when pollen or seeds are moved by the wind and insects. It would a perfect book to start a unit on flowers or living things.
