The story, which is perfect for elementary school Common Core learning, carefully highlights the many ways that seeds get from here to there, engaging children's curiosity with strong action verbs. Stunning photographs with fact-packed captions provide supporting details, explaining the role of seed features and functions in creating new generations of plants.

Industry Reviews

"Engaging text and crisp nature photography capture the surprisingly dynamic journey of seeds as they grow, travel, sprout, and trigger the cycle anew. Action verbs are abound as seeds "fly," "float," "pop," and even "ride, to name a few. Stewart weaves fascinating facts about specific plants into a cohesive and sequential narrative that covers each step of the life cycle. The photographs are bright and vivid, supporting the flow of text and expanding upon the broader context of the content." -- School Library Journal

"Help your students with Life Science Standards of the NGSS with A Seed is a Start. Expertly written with eye-catching photographs and an outstanding vocabulary list showcases seed germination and propagation." -- Kevin Daugherty, Education Director, Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom
