ReviewedPineapples grow in the tropics. But how do these sweet, juicy fruits start, and what do they need to thrive? In this title, young readers follow the growth of pineapples from cuttings to ripened fruits. Leveled text and vibrant photos make it easy to follow along, and special features highlight what pineapples need to grow and how the fruits are used. A final graphic puts the pineapple’s life cycle in one place, and a picture glossary adds support for challenging terms.
This See It Grow series focuses on different fruits and vegetables, explaining in very simple language how the plant grows and flourishes. A Blastoff Reader, the book uses text features effectively with diagrams, textboxes, and boldfaced words to help young readers understand the growth process. Vibrant photographs with close ups of the fruit or vegetable provide a perfect compliment to the basic text. Science teachers covering plant life or young readers learning to read independently will find this attractive series useful. Includes glossary, index, and supplementary material. THOUGHTS: The size of these books are just right for little hands. The pictures teach as much as the text, and the large print text is ideal for beginning readers. This series is a good selection for lessons on plant growth.
