Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Review: This book was a great educational tool for kids. Although it does give good overviews as well as in-depth explanations for certain things. I do wished it would have been just a little longer. I could see this used as a stepping stone to get kids both boys and girls interested in plants. Where they will want to go out and learn even more.
