Joan Holub takes a clever-and-colloquial approach to teaching early readers about science.

Cute little quips from Bugs with Names all rhyme with the name of the speaker. For instance:

Yay! Rain!
says Jane.


Early readers may prefer the approach here, with its cartoonish drawings, to "I Wonder," Tana Hoban's sophisticated-and-beautifully educational book for early readers.

The prob with Holub's book is that it may foster a shallow approach, a glib-and-jokey approach to science. Personally, I think that children deserve better.

Yet the intended audience for this book would surely disagree. On their behalf, I'll give this book FIVE STARS.

It takes all kinds of Goodreaders to make a world.

Confused

A bit confused or too long for beginners. This is a book for kindergarten students. Taking in consideration they are learning how to read. I like the book though.

A group of ants is busy planting seeds and playing in the spring weather waiting to see what grows. Rhyming and fast paced. toddler and up

Spring Is Here! A Story About Seeds is an engaging book of how a seed becomes a bud, and eventually a plant, with the help of ants (I did not intend a rhyme here.). The illustrations are vibrant, so I would use this as a read aloud for kindergarten-age students or younger. It could also be read by a lower reader in first grade.

This was the first book Gabriel read.

I like that it rhymes. I like the pictures. I like the front of it and the back of it. And I like it because it shows me how to plant seeds and plant trees.
