mrsanniep Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I need suggestions for a botany book suitable for a 2nd grader. We're currently going through Apologia's Exploring Creation with Botany and I'd like to switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaNadine Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I have really struggled with this as well. It seems there are 47,000 books on animals, but finding a good spine about plants is almost impossible. Ones I am considering getting include: Usborne Science With Plants: http://www.amazon.com/Science-Plants-Activities-Mike-Unwin/dp/0746009763/ Janice VanCleave's Plants http://www.amazon.com/Janice-VanCleaves-Plants-Mind-Boggling-Experiments/dp/0471146870/ Essential Atlas of Botany http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Atlas-Botany-Parramon-Studios/dp/0764127098/ From Seed to Plant http://www.amazon.com/From-Seed-Plant-Gail-Gibbons/dp/0823410250/ The Life of Plants Series (link is to one of the volumes) http://www.amazon.com/Plant-Parts-The-Life-Plants/dp/1432915061/ Eyewitness Plant http://www.amazon.com/Eyewitness-Plant-DK-Books/dp/0756660351/ Plants in Different Habitats http://www.amazon.com/Plants-Different-Habitats-Natures-Changes/dp/077872316X/ Hope some of these ideas help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I'm having problems with linking on my iPhone at the moment, but Gail Gibbons has several books on plants, including From Seed to Plant, Tell Me, Tree, and Vegetable Garden. We also love the Let's Read and Find Out series by several authors. Lastly, the Kingfisher Young Discoverers Fruits, Flowers book is just the right amount of words and pictures to keep a young one's interest. You could also read aloud the free (online) Seed Babies and use Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots as your own garden reference.
