Feast of Discovery
Little Seed takes young readers on the journey from a little seed to a Sunflower. There are so many pages to unfold or flaps to lift that it is a feast of discovery and intrigue of the illustrations. I read this with a toddler, and the text was better for an older preschool child for comprehension purposes, but the visuals were captivating. The book is sturdy, but the flaps and foldouts would not stand up to hard loving by younger children, so I would recommend this one to be read with adult supervision, just to keep the book intact for the next read. The author uses concentric circle cutouts to grow the sunflower. This was an intriguing addition to my young reader, who spent several minutes touching the cutouts and turning the pages to understand what was happening with the book. Overall, this was an engaging book visually for young children and will grow with them through preschool and the younger elementary grades when they can comprehend the information about a plant’s life cycle.
