(4) K-3 Pebble Plus: Plant Parts series. On each double-page spread, a very brief and limited text (one or two sentences) on a pastel-colored background faces a colorful photograph. The books provide general information, some of which may be misleading or frustrating: e.g., a photo of blooming tulips on tall green stems accompanies "Tulip bulbs are underground stems. In spring, leaves grow up and tulips bloom." Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Pebble Plus: Plant Parts titles: Seeds and Stems.
