Oh Say Can You Seed?: All About Flowering Plants - Book

With the able assistance of Thing 1 and Thing 2 -- and a fleet of Rube Goldbergian vehicles -- the Cat in the Hat examines the various parts of plants, seeds, and flowers; basic photosynthesis and pollination; and seed dispersal.

Bonnie Worth's book in The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library teaches young readers about flowering plants in Dr. Seuss-style rhyme. It explains how plants start out as seeds, how they make their own food in their leaves, and how bees help spread the pollen flowers need to make fruit. Aristides Ruiz did the Seussian illustrations.

Beyond the story, the 48-page hardcover includes an index, a glossary and suggestions for further learning, so it works for science lessons as well as story time. Penguin Random House recommends it for ages 5 to 9.
