“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:
