About the Book:
Porcupine longs to grow beautiful sunflowers in his garden
just like Raccoon. When Raccoon give Porcupine seeds, she says that all they
need is soil, sun, and water. But growing sunflowers is not easy for Porcupine.
Porcupine’s Seeds connects to the early
elementary science curriculum. Beginning science classes teach that seeds need
soil, sun and water to sprout and grow. This fictitious story will cement these
science concepts in the reader’s mind.
Overall Thoughts:
This story is sweet and teaches beyond the science of growing and nature. Children will also learn about hard work, friendship, patience and self confidence. The illustrations are fun and full of color. You can see the expressions of each characters face and use the artwork to ask what is happening in each scene to help expand beyond the text within the book. A great teaching and learning tool for younger readers.

As a former teacher, I really appreciate the concept here. Families need to support reading for and with their children. Really crucial to not let their kids go to the wilder elements of the culture. Thanks for sharing. Love the title.
