A Seed is Sleepy by Dianna Hutts Aston illustrated by Sylvia Long*

Beautiful illustrations of seeds and their development.
The text is multi age -bigger font could be read to preschoolers; smaller font to elementary students.  We love the end pages-in the front are illustrations of unusual seeds and then the back end pages contain what they become.
*Highly recommend.  More books by this team: A Butterfly is Patient; A Rock is Lively; An Egg is Quiet
Text features: captions, charts; cross sections/cut-aways; close ups
Strategies: determining importance-main idea/details
