Synopsis

Full-color photographs and an accessible text reveal the many different life cycles of thirty living things, including grass, potatoes, apples, fish, kangaroos, and snakes.

Reviews

Here is straightforward, friendly science that feeds youngsters just the right amount of information to hold attention and to spark questions. A comfortable, roomy layout spotlights the most elementary facts concerning 30 plants and animals from dandelions and apple trees to earthworms and horses--all within the child's vernacular. Mushrooms spring up overnight, while humans take years to grow. Potatoes have eyes for growing, not seeing. A baby woodpecker has a tooth just to peck open its egg. Full color, often large-scale photographs clearly depict aspects of birth and development often hidden even from the most observant. Youngsters and adults alike will delight in the familiar (kittens nursing) as well as the strange (crayfish must swim away quickly before their mother eats them). Ages 4-9.
