Daisylocks by Marianne Berkes
2.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade
Nature: Seeds

Daisylocks is a tiny seed that asks the wind to transport her to grow in a new landscape but she finds that these distant lands aren't quite what she needs. While the story line is a cute one, the incorporation of nonfiction facts feels clunky and sometimes out of place. In the middle of the book, Daisylocks tells the wind that she needs to be cultivated by hand not by the wind. The story line then continues on as the wind tries to find the seed a new home--but didn't we just establish that she needs to be planted by hand?

The supplementary material is great, providing information on the basic needs of plants, match the habitats, plant parts, and a match the plant game.
