Description
A child’s day in the garden with their Gran and Pa leads to a wonderful exploration of pollination.
Join them in discovering how pollination happens in our gardens and backyards, and the importance it has for our environment. Meet the animals involved in pollination and the plants that depend on pollination to produce our fruit, vegetables and even our clothes!
Pollination is recommended for children aged 5 to 9, though reading levels may vary from child to child.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Pollination by Christopher Cheng and Danny Snell is praised for its engaging narrative nonfiction style that effectively educates children about the crucial role of pollinators in nature's life cycle. The book is noted for its ability to illuminate the unseen yet vital process of pollination, involving not only bees but a variety of pollinators, and highlights the importance of these creatures in sustaining the planet. Additionally, reviewers appreciate the depiction of intergenerational learning and diverse family dynamics, set against the backdrop of urban apartment living.
