Book Synopsis

Flowers make the world SO lovely!
But WHY are they so bright and beautiful?
And HOW ON EARTH do they make food?

Let’s find out in THE GREAT POLLINATION INVESTIGATION!

With lots of fun flaps to lift, take a look inside a flower and find out what all the little parts do, meet the amazing animals that carry pollen from bloom to bloom, and discover how seeds and fruits are made. Look for the adorable bees buzzing around on every page to help with the science bits!

You can carry out your very own pollination investigation with the project at the back of the book and instructions on how to make a pollination wand to tickle your flowers!

With gorgeously bright artwork by Deborah Hocking, fact-packed text checked by the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and flaps to lift, this innovative nonfiction picture book is an immersive and exciting read for ages 4 and up.

Our Review Panel says...

Ever wondered how fruit starts to grow? This fun, lift-the-flap book guides you through the parts of a flower, how different pollinators support the plant life-cycle and how other parts of plants are used in our food. There is a great mix of scientific detail and engaging story-telling and this book is a great accompaniment to primary science topics about lifecycles and growing plants.

The information is presented attractively in bite-size chunks, making it accessible for children across the primary age-range, and the illustrations are colourful and eye-catching.

This would be a great text to use as a model when writing explanations about plant life-cycles, and there are step-by-step instructions at the end of the book for conducting your own pollination investigation.
