Learn the plant life cycle the Montessori way!

Based on the proven Montessori teaching method, Montessori: Seed Work introduces young readers to the plant life cycle, starting with seeds before moving on to each phase as the plant grows. Elements on each page are textured for greater interactivity, and the book has two fun gatefolds—one that flips down to reveal a plant's roots, and another that folds out to show a sunflower following the sun.

Written by Bobby George, cofounder of the Baan Dek Montessori, the Montessori series introduces young readers to key concepts by beginning with the concrete and moving to the abstract. With each book, young readers absorb age-appropriate information and gain a better understanding of the world around them.

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Small prompts such as, 'How many sunflowers can you count?' will keep readers engaged throughout. . .for plant-loving patrons everywhere."
