All About Seeds by Troll Associates

This is a wonderful book for young children. It teaches the basics of all types of seeds and how they go about spreading their seeds to reproduce. Also, some seeds that young children might not have ever expected to be seeds are addressed and pointed out such as acorns and pine cones. Additionally, I feel many children are unaware of the variety of ways that seeds can travel. The illustrations are beautifully done to match the theme of each page. I think younger children under the age eight will take a liking to this book. It is simple and to the point for young children who cannot process a bunch of information on each page of a book very quickly. It is a wonderful informational book that I would recommend using this as part of a lesson plan. There is a lot of useful information that can be used and learned from this book. I think the author did an exceptional job on writing this book to attract an array of readers. I am not sure what types of paints or colors the illustrator used but the paper seemed to be somewhat iridescent with non-fictional drawings which I really liked and thought fit in well.
