As readers spend 24 hours with a tough little dandelion, they will discover: how dandelion nectar is an essential food for bumblebees in early spring; how the little plant’s juicy leaves, stems, and flowers are food for many different munching minibeasts; and how the plant’s fluffy, flyaway seeds can become a meal for many creatures, such as ants, birds, and mice. Filled with beautiful photographs and packed with science facts and vocabulary, this title is a perfect introduction to plant lives and life-cycles.
