Illustrated by
Tom Leonard.
"A playful dolphin pushed a coconut into ocean currents. The coconut floated to an island and a palm tree grew!" Text and pictures show the many ways seeds are planted and trees grow worldwide. Double-page spreads feature an animal/seed pair (e.g., squirrel/acorn; wren/juniper berry) and a brief explanation of how planting takes place. Realistic illustrations enhance the overly simplistic text.
