One thought on “Seed Balls

  1. “I like the idea of making a seed ball. I never knew about
    them before reading this book. I think it’s a good idea, and
    it helps the environment too.” Boy, aged 9
    “The best thing about this book was a recipe for seed balls.
    We read this book in class and afterwards, we made a few. It
    was also interesting to learn all about seeds and how
    important they are. My teacher told us this was a very good
    book and we can learn a lot from reading it.” Girl, aged 8 –
    with little help from my mum
    “Such a charming book, and perfect for the classroom in any
    primary school. It offers students an interactive way of
    learning and understanding how the lifecycle of plants work.
    The illustrations are simple and imaginatively drawn; also the
    text was accessible and was easy to follow for my class of 8
    year-olds.” Primary School Teacher, age 37
    To Sum It Up:
    ‘A fun and interactive way of learning all about seeds and
    plants. A FINALIST and highly recommended to younger
    children.’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
