(4) K-3 First Step Nonfiction: Let's Look at Plants series. Simple, easy-to-read sentences describe different plant parts and the functions of each (with potentially difficult words in bold print). Bright photographs accompany the texts; some of the pictures of people interacting with plants are awkwardly staged. An "All Kinds of..." spread summarizes each category; additional facts (that use but don't explain new topics or vocabulary) are appended. Glos., ind. Review covers these First Step Nonfiction: Let's Look at Plants titles: Exploring Flowers, Exploring Leaves, and Exploring Roots.
