A Fruit Is a Suitcase for Seeds

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | March, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1622-1 $$21.90
(4) PS Illustrated by Anca Hariton. Accompanied by loosely rendered paintings, a sparse text gives the most basic information about seeds in common fruits and vegetables. The concept is useful but spread a bit too thin. Running (literally) across the bottom of each page are stick figures lugging suitcases--a gimmick that, while whimsical, doesn't add anything to the content. A question-and-answer section is appended.
