Description

The third book in the Be Thankful . . . series for kids; this time, providing a gorgeous exploration of plant life and showing how essential they are to sustaining life on Earth.

Would animals be satisfied without plants? They would not!
Leaves for gorillas, food for antelopes,
Grasses for zebras on African slopes.
Plankton for small krill, greens for manatees,
Plants provide food in big oceans and seas.

The third book in the successful Be Thankful . . . series, Plants, uses lilting, rhyming couplets to explore the many ways that plants are essential to our lives and the existence of life on earth. But it doesn’t stop there! Kids will also learn about the many uses of plants—and the environmental danger to plants posed by pollution and lack of respect for this precious resource.

In this series, kids are encouraged to be kind, not only to one another but to the environment as well. Kids will view the many types of plants in our lives and will see them in a whole new light after going on a botanical eco-tour in this gorgeous poem about plants. This book is printed on responsibly sourced, 100% recycled FSC paper.
