"Suitable additions for those looking for material on plants or flowers."―School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

Gr 1–3—Though Ransom only mentions bees as pollinating agents, her introductions to flower functions and parts (which include glances at roots and stems as well) really stand alone as broad overviews. Still, Boothroyd's volumes do cover their limited topics in an inviting, systematic way. Each slim volume offers a bright, close-up nature photo on every page and one or two simple descriptive sentences. Frequent labels provide geographical information, flower names, or an additional fact. Insect Pollinators identifies six types of insects that transfer pollen, Animal Pollinators identifies eight other creatures—including humans—and Cross Pollination includes a reference to wind so that no pollen vector goes unmentioned. Self-Pollination clearly explains the value of this seed-making strategy and presents six common plants—from tomatoes to dandelions—that rely upon it. Each volume closes with a glossary and a rudimentary index. VERDICT Suitable additions for those looking for material on plants or flowers.
