This entry in the well done Plant-ology series focuses seeds. It
begins by chronicling the journey of a holly berry seed. The journey begins
with a hungry cardinal eating berries from a holly bush. Readers are asked how
they think the bird will help the holly bush make new plants. The answer is
well explained and illustrated with excellent photography and clear
explanations; poop-carrying seeds help the bush by spreading its seeds to a new
home. The format continues in each two page spread. There is enough information
for reports, but of even more value is the interest this book and others of the
series will instill in children. This excellent science book should be on public
and school library shelves. Barbara Ward, Retired Children’s Librarian, Dickinson County Library
