About this ebook
Many seeds travel inside fruits. The fruit is like a suitcase for the seeds. It protects them on their trip.
Readers will learn how fruits are designed to protect a plant's seeds and also to help the plant spread its seeds to new places.
With prose perfect for read-alouds and gorgeous watercolor illustrations, A Fruit Is a Suitcase for Seeds delves into the world of seeds, their purpose, and how they grow, perfect for young children. Includes questions and answers at the end to further learning and engagement.
