A Seed Is Sleepy: (Nature Books for Kids, Environmental Science for Kids) (Sylvia Long)

I just love books that are both factual and beautiful, and this is absolutely one of them. Really fills you with a sense of wonder at the magic of the natural world. Text is very accessible even though it describes complex things and illustrations are simply beautiful. If you enjoy this one, you'll also love the Nature Storybooks series published by Walker - similar blend of beautiful book and fascinating facts.

Need more children's books like this: unafraid to explain nature's processes in gentle but full detail. Lovely illustrations, sweet wording, and entrancing for adults and children alike. We have almost all of them now!

Dianna Aston does it again! Another stunning non-fiction picture book packed with gorgeous illustrations and informative text for children at all ages. Hers really are timeless books to treasure.

Absolutely beautiful book. The illustrations are gorgeous too, also very informative . We'll be reading it over and over again.

Oh such a beauty of a book! A simple introduction to seeds, dispersal, germination and life cycles. Clear and wonderful illustrations. Well packaged. Delivered promptly. Thank you.

This book is an absolute delight. It is totally beautiful, with amazing realistic botanical illustrations. I must admit I bought it for a 4 and 5 year old and it goes way over their heads, they don't have any interest in it sadly. They like entertaining storybooks. They can't read the cursive writing and I doubt most children could. The book looks amazingly decorative out on show, but I think the authors perhaps had much fun making it as beautiful as possible and appealing to parents as an educational resource that they forgot about the preferences of the child audience. I would say that this book is mostly suitable for nature lovers age 8+, not so much for younger children. Although, I have read it with a very bright 3½ year old who is enraptured with nature and he really liked it! So go figure, if you have a little Attenborough on your hands, this might just be perfect!

I chose this book to look at with my Year 2 class. The text and pictures work so well together to get children to really think about what seeds are like. The use of vocabulary in the book has challenged my children but already they are including it in their own writing. I've learned some awesome facts too!

Excellent book. Lovely pictures. Very accurate and engaging. My 3 and 7 yo love it. I love it too!!

Beautifully illustrated, wonderfuly written. My five year old and I love these books.

Good book but slightly complicated. Child has to study this book with great attention and patience.

Livro lindíssimo. Fácil leitura e compreensão

This little book will inspire your child to want to plant some seeds! The way the books illustrations bring such whimsy and magic to the seeds and sprouts is so charming! The Family Treasure Nature Encylopedias series is wonderful, charming, and beautiful! My children and I love these books. A seed is sleepy is a gorgeous book! The illustrations are quite beautiful. This book is chock full for great information for learning. The way this series is written makes it easy for younger and older children to enjoy. The way the words just whimsically dance across the page is beautiful. A great asset to your home library or homeschool library.

Educational and beautiful illustrations. Great book to add to our shelf for spring reading!
