Illustrated by
Phyllis Limbacher Tildes.
This explanation of a generalized plant life cycle highlights four plants--rose, pea, tomato, and oak--in the seed, plant, flower, and fruit phases. Clean layouts feature delicately painted gouache illustrations of a variety of species, emphasizing plant diversity. Scientific ideas are summarized in the final four pages, where each phase is revisited with additional information.
