Lovely, what a wonderful story to teach the children about plants and responsibility

El libro "Había una vez una semilla" es de muy buena calidad. El libro explica con mucho detalle y ilustraciones desde que se planta una semilla, crece la planta y hasta como se polinizan las plantas y se reproducen. Creo que la información es muy completa, clara y fácil de entender. Los protagonistas es una niña y su abuelo, el abuelo le va explicando sobre las semillas y su ciclo ya que la niña le hace preguntas. Algo que me gusto es que al ser una relación de nieta-abuelo, causa mucha ternura. Las ilustraciones son muy claras y alegres, con tonalidades alegres primaverales. Recomiendo este libro porque realmente informa de una manera muy clara acerca de la semilla.

Meh. I think "we" are just too old for this book. A couple years ago we'd have loved it more. Good intro to seeds and plant life cycles for pre-k-ish ages. We like the illustrator Mike Gordon, and the background critters' antics were funny.

Cute illustrations reminiscent of the works of Mercer Mayer. Does a good job of illustrating the plant life cycle and the process of pollination without being too burdensome. Has a good list of suggestions for questions to ask kids as you proceed through the book and extension activities, which I like.

Another cute book on how nature works, this time about how seeds grow. If parents use this book the way it's intended they can help their young child have a better understanding of how plants grow.

Easy basic nature science book for early learners about plant pollination with a grandpa teaching his granddaughter.
