Give your child a solid science foundation - starting with the green, growing world all around them.
From the roots hidden underground to the flowers reaching for sunlight, this illustrated introduction to plant science walks young readers through the building blocks of botany in clear, age-appropriate language.
Inside, young readers will discover:
- What makes a plant a plant - and how living things are classified
- How photosynthesis turns sunlight, water, and air into food
- The jobs that roots, stems, and leaves each do to keep a plant alive
- How flowers attract pollinators and how seeds travel to new places
- Strange and surprising plants found around the world
- How plants and animals depend on each other to survive
- The many ways humans use plants for food, medicine, and materials
Who this is for:This nonfiction science title is designed for children ages 6-10 and works equally well as a classroom supplement, a homeschool curriculum companion, or an independent read for curious young learners. Parents looking to build early STEM literacy will find the structured, chapter-by-chapter format easy to follow alongside their child.
Each chapter introduces one focused concept, uses straightforward vocabulary, and builds naturally on the chapter before - so children develop real understanding rather than isolated facts.
Topics covered include: plant classification, photosynthesis, root systems and soil, water and nutrient transport, leaf structure, flowers and pollination, seeds and fruits, carnivorous and unusual plants, plant-animal relationships, and how humans depend on the plant kingdom every day.
Whether your child is just beginning to explore life science or looking to go deeper after a school unit on nature and living things, this guide offers the clear explanations and broad coverage they need.
