The Little Plant Doctor: A Story About George Washington Carver

32 pp. | Holiday | April, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2325-5 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ken Wilson-Max. A tree narrates this biography of the African American botanist and educator, describing his childhood interest in plants and his desire to attend school. The tree has some hokey lines ("I'm just a tree so I don't know what a president is"), but the book is a serviceable introduction to Carver. Bright acrylic illustrations show the man among flowers and trees. End matter provides additional information.
