Buddy gets five colorful bags in the mail from his grandfather, who writes: Dear Buddy, Have , five days of fun! Love, Gramps P.S. It's almost spring! Buddy finds a surprise in each bag, and with each surprise he discovers something wonderful about seeds. In one bag, for example, there are different kinds of seeds which Buddy pastes onto colored paper and which are reproduced photographically in the book for accurate identification. In another bag, there are cards that show how seeds grow. As Buddy sorts, collects, eats, and creates with seeds, he learns plenty about growth and germination, making this introduction both entertaining and educational.
This was a wonderful book to use as a springboard for spring planting. I sent my grandchildren the book and bags that Buddy's grandfather sent to him. The children loved doing the projects created through the book.
A colorful way to introduce kids to the nature of Seeds

I am using this books as a basis for a science literture kit that will talk about the growth of seeds. I found the book to very engaging and colorful. The pictures help to show kids the seeds with great clarity. The wording is simple yet still a little challenging for a K-3 grades. I really enjoy this book as a teacher and I feel that it is a delightful addition to any library.
