A little boy and girl find a seed, and decide to keep it safe. They play with it but it doesn't grow. What must they do to make it grow When it flowers and dies they find it has left them lots of new seeds to plant. Perfect to get children interested in gardening and introduce them to the plant life cycle and seasons.
This is a beautiful and very clever illustration of the cycle of life' Lovereading4kids;'A gentle environmental theme' The Irish Times;'Pitch perfect for the very young. Robs rhythmic text is memorable while his illustrations show just how worthwhile and rewarding continuing contact with the natural world can be. A small piece of brilliance.' Red Reading Hub;'We Found A Seed is a wonderfully simple story about a boy and girl who discover how to make a plant grow. The plant life cycle is followed throughout the seasons, and playful and poignant pictures match the poetic storyline. Its a companion to Ramsdens previous book I Saw A Bee and follows the same structure.' Big Issue;I love the retro feel of the delicately illustrated cloth cover of this book...it's a lovely way to show young children the cycle of the seasons and the wonders of nature. Parents in Touch
