Each book in this highly visual, activity-based series starts off with basic information and gradually introduces more complex principles. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Very well written explanations cover such topics as roots, reproduction, and seedling development. What it lacks in depth on some subject is makes up for in variety of topics cover. The "Inside the Plant" section is detailed including diagrams of leaf cells and a discussion of stoma, xylem, and phloem. The only negative comment I could make is that the explanation of photosynthesis is not very detailed **compared to** other topics. I was impressed with the inclusion of the comment in the beginning of the book that warns young botanist not to collect wild plans even if there are lots of them.
