From Flower to Fruit (e-book)

by: Richard Konicek-Moran and Kathleen Konicek-Moran

From Flower to Fruit will transform curious readers - children and adults - into budding botanists. The book draws you in with the twin charms of rich illustrations and an engaging narrative.
But this is more than just a pretty storybook. It sparks curiosity about the parts of a flower and the vital roles of bees and seeds in plant reproduction.

Six kid-friendly activities and background information for parents and teachers complement the text. The authors also encourage you to explore several mysteries:
  • How does a seed change as it sprouts into a plant?
  • Why do scientists call a tomato a fruit?
  • Can some fruits really fly, float, and stick to your socks
