It’s that time of year when dandelions start to spring up in our lawns, but just how do they get there and why are they so important? This charming and colourful storybook explains the parts of the dandelion plant, the lifecycle of a dandelion and how its seeds disperse.
The illustrations are beautifully colour-themed and support children’s understanding throughout. The initial story is very accessible for children of all ages, but there is further information about the science behind this in the final pages that would support the science curriculum for KS1 and KS2.
