A Seed is Sleepy by by Dianna Hutts Aston2007, Chronicle Books, 40 pages, hardcover
Sometimes a book comes along that is truly outstanding! The acknowledgments page alone of this new book by Dianna Hutts is truly impressive! The text is captivating, telling stories that fascinate young and old readers about all sorts of seeds. I bet many an amateur botanist will have never heard about some of these! The illustrations--just gorgeous--complement this high quality picture book. Our children are learning Botany this semester at Homeschool Co-op and this volume is an excellent enrichment. We have the authors' other one as well--An Egg Is Quiet--also excellent!
I just posted a short version of this posting on Amazon, and this is such a recent publication that I was the first person to review it!
I picked this up quite accidentally as I perused the New Books shelf at the library today. It came in very handy since Numbers Five and Six are both working on a botany science project these days.
