Oh Say Can You Seed?

"From the giant gum tree to this very small weed, every flowering plant started out as a seed." And so Dr. Seuss' famous Cat in the Hat introduces young readers to the fascinating world of seeds and flowering plants. This title and others form part of a series of books that takes an off-beat look at nature and natural sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations. Aimed at early readers - from four to seven year olds - the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles that require fluent reading skills. By presenting the facts in a lively and rhythmic manner, they provide the critical foundation upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built.
