Seed-Babies

By: Morley, Margaret Warner

Seed-Babies invites readers to look closely-at sprouting beans that turn green to "digest" their food, at peas that start underground, and at the baby plant tucked into a peanut. Morley's playful conversations make real science memorable, from cotyledons to roots and shoots, while lively episodes-cucumber-boat regattas, pumpkin lanterns, and kitchen-table dissections-keep eyes and hands busy. A rambunctious chapter on nuts explores hard shells, bitter husks, and why cradles matter; another shows how apples and plums ask to be eaten so their seeds can travel. With Kittie Clover, the circle widens to bulbs, buds, and jelly-fed morning-glories.

Readers come away noticing design in ordinary places and practising patient, cause-and-effect thinking-virtues that steady judgment, enrich nature walks, and make everyday learning a joy.
