Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( ) This book tells about how plants move around all the time even though most people think of plants as stationary. It describes how their roots grow underground, how they grow up walls, how their seeds travel, how they catch bugs and so on. I like this book because it shares informational facts about how plants move and grow without being too wordy. The words the book does use are lushious words which makes the growth and movement of plants very exciting. I can imagine using this book in class perhaps if we were learning about how plants grow and maybe if we were growing our own plants in class. Author Rebecca E. Hirsch and illustrator Mia Posada explore the movement of plant life in this engaging work of picture-book natural history. From roots growing down into the soil to stems and leave growing up toward the sun, from flowers that bloom at night to those that bloom during the day, from seeds which fly on the wind to those which use other species to migrate, plants are alive, and they simply can't sit still... I initially decided to track down Plants Can't Sit Still because I so enjoyed the artwork of Mia Posada, in her own Summer Green to Autumn Gold: Uncovering Leaves' Hidden Colors, and wanted to see more of it. The title reminded me of the many excellent picture-books from Dianna Hutts Aston and Sylvia Long - A Seed Is Sleepy, A Rock Is Lively, etc. - that I have read, and sure enough, A Seed Is Sleepy is in the list of further reading here. I liked the idea of this book, to explore plant movement, and I liked the execution. Rebecca E. Hirsch's main narrative is descriptive, and fairly simple from a textual perspective, while her afterword discusses the specifics of each plant depicted. The accompanying artwork from Posada is just lovely, with a gorgeous color palette, and beautiful plant figures throughout. Recommended to all young would-be botanists and nature lovers, and to anyone who enjoys beautiful picture-book art. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Describes some ways in which plants can move, from sunflowers turning towards sunlight and vines creeping up a fence to tulips folding in at night and maple seeds whirling like helicopters in the wind. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
