Plant Encyclopedia?

[Guest]

I'm looking for a plant encyclopedia for 1st grade science next year. Here's the DK Eyewitness book on Plants that I'm considering; are there any other good suggestions for a general, colorful plant book for that age?

 

Thanks! :)

I found it hard to surprisingly find a good dedicated plant encyclopedia for this age range! The ones I liked were out of print.

 

Coincidentally I was in the market for this today and picked a used copy of this book off Amazon:

World of Plants: Internet-Linked (Library of Science)

But no reviews or Look Inside feature so I'm hoping it's ok!

 

I'm still open to some good suggestions. If this arrives and I like it, I'll try to remember to post here about it.

Usborne books are usually pretty good. I'll be interested to hear what you think of this one.

I love the DK e-guide. It is plenty without the internet links. I think it is way more than you need for that age though.
