About This Book

A children's natural-history guide uses vivid, approachable vignettes about familiar garden and wild blossoms — morning-glory, geraniums, hyacinths, nasturtiums, and jewelweed — to teach how flowers are built and function. Clear explanations of stamens, pistils, pollen, nectaries, leaves, roots, cells, and chlorophyll are paired with stories of insect visitors and pollination, seed and fruit formation, and plant life cycles. Practical observation tips and a glossary help young readers explore how floral structure, nectar, and color serve reproduction and attract animal helpers.
