PreS-K–Sometimes the quietest moments in nature are the most remarkable, like the slow but steady growth of a seed as it pushes up from rich soil to bloom as spring flowers. Painterly textures and gentle, short rhymes with carefully selected verbs match the curling quality of the seeds’ delicate sprouting tendrils.

VERDICT Preliterate young gardeners will love the images of the process unfurling.
