一粒種子落下，
落到土裡，
經過太陽、雨水滋長，
發芽、長大、結苞、開花，
成熟的種子成為鳥兒的食物，
鳥兒銜著種子再次落下…
左半頁是扼要的文字，右半頁是精準的畫面，
文圖合奏唱出一首生命循環的歌，
一遍又一遍。
"A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And the rain comes down, And the seed grows..."
To understand how a seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals.
With evocative and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the book explaining the science of plant life cycles.
The final quiz and suggested activities are a fun way to re-inforce what has been learnt.
