Book Description
for What Will Grow? by Jennifer Ward and Susie Ghahremani
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Twelve types of seeds are introduced in descriptive rhyming couplets (“Fluffy, white. Taking flight.”) followed by the question: “What will grow?” Guesses are encouraged by visual hints, and confirmed in both art and text (“Dandelion.”) Fold-out pages are used intermittently to emphasize the growth trajectory of a seed: a page that folds down shows a cut-away of carrots growing underground, while a page that folds up showcases a tall pine tree. Final pages offer supplemental information about each of the seeds and outline the four stages of growth from seed to plant. (Ages 2-5)
