'“Botanist” by Kate Moening is part of the Careers in Stem collection from the Blastoff Readers series. This series was designed for early-fluent readers to help advance them toward fluency through increased text load, less reliance on photos, advancing concepts, longer sentences and more complex text features. This series has been an enriching addition to our library. With its engaging content and accessible language, this book introduces young readers to the world of botany and plant science. The well-structured layout captivates curious minds while nurturing their appreciation for the natural world. “Botanist” not only imparts knowledge about plant life but also encourages an understanding of ecosystems and environmental stewardship. Ideal for inquisitive learners and classroom discussions, this book seamlessly blends education and engagement, enriching our students’ understanding of the Earth’s flora and inspiring a lifelong fascination with the beauty and significance of plants.', Heather Slater, South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
