At Wrapped in Foil blog<\/a> today we are highlighting Plants on the Move<\/em> by \u00c9milie Vast .<\/p>\n

There are many children\u2019s books about plant and seed movement, but this one is certainly unique. In a lot of ways it is from a plant\u2019s viewpoint.<\/p>\n

As the blurb on the back says:<\/p>\n

Have you ever bent down to take a closer look, perhaps thinking that we don\u2019t ever go anywhere? But we plants might surprise you. We\u2019re more adventurous than you think\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The text is well-organized and informative. \u00c9milie Vast\u00a0 categorizes the ways plants disperse into broad groups, like \u201cFly\u201d, \u201cCreep\u201d, \u201cFall\u201d, etc. For each group she gives step-by-step details of an example plant\u2019s journey and life cycle. Once the pattern is established, then she provides\u00a0 a cluster of images of other species that use the same dispersal method, which helps young readers apply what they\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n

The Illustrations are otherworldly and mesmerizing. They are crisp and clean images against a starkly contrasting white background.<\/p>\n

Plants on the Move<\/em> is a fantastic resource. It is perfect for budding botanists, young gardeners and nature lovers. Pop open a copy today!<\/p>\n
