Lisa in the UP of MI Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I plan to do Apologia Botany next spring, but I'd like to do a more basic study of plants with my kids this spring and summer as we plant our garden. What books about plants have you enjoyed at the elementary and preschool level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 My dh just got into gardening and we've planted a nice-sized gardening flat in our backyard. That has been the best hands-on thing, plus the kids are totally interested in reading the books, now that they "see" what we are doing. Your kids will love it! Mine both have Mel Bartholomew books open at this very moment (Square Foot gardening, :D) but some of our favorite books have been: From Seed to Plant How a Seed Grows The Reason for a Flower The Vegetables We Eat Growing Vegetable Soup Eating the Alphabet From the Garden: A Counting Book About Growing Food We like picture books, so these may be good for your two youngers, although I'm sure your eldest would listen. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisandpaula Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 We really enjoyed this lapbook for K and Pre-K spring plant studies last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classical Book Worm Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Those mentioned already plus A Seed is Sleepy by Dianna Hutts Aston. My prek/K kids also really liked The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss, even though it's not really a botany book. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
