Exploring Roots

Nicely written informational book with large size illustrations. Easy to read. The children loved looking at the pictures. The pictures helped them formulate questions.

This is an introductory plant science book for the young student that explores roots ...

Five children can be seen looking at us in a photograph. They are all smiling as they sit or stand on the roots of a tree that are above ground. When you look at the diagram that show plant parts you learn that "roots are parts of plants." The job of roots are to help the plant grow. Once a seed is planted the roots grow down into the soil. Once the roots are fully grown, they help a plant stay into the ground. They help "plants get water from the soil" and "send water to the plant through a stem."

Two photographs in this book show roots that are very large, but if you are able to see the roots of flowers most of them are short. The roots of water lilies keep them from moving around a pond or a lake. In hot areas "desert plants store water in their roots." You might be surprised that you can actually eat roots. In this book you will see roots that you can eat, including radishes, carrots, and beets. Have you ever seen roots that climb? You'll see an example of one in this book.

This is an introductory plant science book for the young student that explores stems. The print in this book is large and there is typically one or two short sentences on each page accompanied by one large, pertinent photograph. There is a clear, concise diagram that shows the parts of a plant and shows roots as they grow from a seed to a flowering plant. If there is an advanced word such as "desert" it is printed in dark, bold letters and defined in the glossary. In the back of the book is an index, a pictorial glossary, and a section about root facts. This is one book in the plant science series, Let's Look at Plants (First Step Nonfiction), an excellent beginning series you may wish to consider adding to your library or classroom shelves.
