Re: Plant life/reproduction

Thank you for responding. I agree that non-fiction is where I am
going to find literature supporting this topic. My professor
asked us to find picture books at this level, but picture books

in "circle" to listen to a story (unless it Chris Van
Allsburg :)). Thank you so much for your input. I really
appreciate it.
