This gorgeous book focuses on seed basics: differences in shapes and sizes, and links between structure and function in terms of seed transport. Photos show seeds alongside the whole plants and fruits they come from, and the examples are well chosen to highlight primarily familiar plants. The questions raised by the engaging photos are an effective gateway into discussion of plant reproduction.
