Each book features a large foldout illustration on the final pages. \u003ci\u003eFluffy Flying Seed \u003c\/i\u003estarts small, with a tiny dandelion seed being carried by the wind and landing safely in a meadow, the perfect place to grow. This is its story: how it grows, protects itself from frost, reproduces, and becomes a food source for many creatures. There are facts about germination, photosynthesis, seed dispersal, parts of a plant, and food chains. The narrative progresses in a way that builds understanding, and the gorgeous illustrations bring the story and the science to life. Thinking big, the book shows why this much-maligned wildflower is important to animals in the spring, and why it is so successful at surviving and spreading. A big foldout has a world map showing the temperate regions where it thrives, an illustrated life cycle, and a \u003ci\u003eMeadow I-Spy\u003c\/i\u003e to take readers back through the book to deepen the learning experience. This book features a textured die-cut hole cover and a large foldout poster at the back of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Auld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Comet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Start Small, Think Big\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 9.31w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636551272","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44148307066925,"sku":"9781636551272","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_801d3b2f-4124-48fa-9b65-9e59877b6562.jpg?v=1757220143","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/fluffy-flying-seed-start-small-think-big-4-9781636551272","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
