The Reason for a Flower
by Ruth Heller
Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers
Can you guess the reason for each flower - even weeds? "The reason for a flower is to manufacture...seeds."But, as award-winning author artist, Ruth Heller, delightfully reveals, there's much, much more involved in the development of plants. "From an ANTHER on a STAMEN to a STIGMA on a STYLE," she combines fun, fact, and even a few surprises about all kinds of flowers and seeds, and takes an insightful look as well at how animals fit in -including animals that eat plants AND plants that eat animals!
