Ten Seeds

Ruth Brown

If you plant ten seeds, what do you get? Follow nature's wonderful life cycle in this classic counting book with a difference!

Ten seeds are planted in the garden but, thanks to an ant, a mouse, a pigeon and several other creatures, one by one the seeds go missing and the plants get eaten, until we are left with one.

Beautifully illustrated by Ruth Brown, this counting book is perfect for teaching young children the numbers up to ten as well as explaining the life cycle of a plant.

Reviews

"This is a delightful way to learn the basic facts of nature: seeds growing into plants.'"

"Bold, beautiful and simple illustrations show dramatically what can happen between sowing and growing. Counting down from the original 10 seeds that are planted to the one flower that survives and begins the whole process again, Ten Seeds shows how birds, insects, animals and humans all disrupt the life cycle."
