Review
A good introduction to how plants grow and the importance of soil in the growing cycle. The large and clear photos accompanying the sparse text reinforce the ideas presented for preschoolers and beginning readers.The use of interspersed questions throughout the text will elicit engagement and more conversations with young readers. Included also are stand out black circles of interesting facts to reinforce the text. Some soil experiments are included in the back of the book as well as an illustrated glossary. This book would be a good addition to a primary classroom or school library.
Overall Book Score: very good
