Flowers

Part of the Eyewitness Explorers series, this book includes practical information for children aged 7 and above with photographs and illustrations designed to help explain the concepts examined. This particular book is designed to encourage children to discover and investigate the world of flowers, fruit and seeds. The book looks at the structure and composition of a flower, including close-up photography of how petals are arranged, how a bud unfolds and how a dandelion disperses its seeds. Practical projects include how to make a plant maze, to understanding why plants grow towards the light, or growing a hyacinth bulb to look at how roots form.
