Customer Reviews:
Uncommonly Lovely Common Wildflower.......2004-01-10
This book is intended for children in grades 3 through 5 but it is also a very good introduction into plant anatomy, sexuality and life cycle that could benefit any amateur gardener who may not have much in the way of science behind his interest in the hobby.
The many colored photographs throughout the book are the best part but the informative text may not truly hold the attention of young school children. If you want to inspire a budding botanist this book will be a helpful aid but it should be used in conjunction with hands on experience.
The history of the plant's folk name is explained at the beginning of the book. The book concludes with an easy experiment that children can conduct that shows one reason that the Queen Anne's Lace plant is so prolific. I was hoping the book might include more landscape photographs but it only has individual photographs of single flower heads or individual parts of a flower head, leaf, root or stem. It is an easy science book not a coffee table book. I was also hoping there might be some easy craft ideas for kids that use the Queen Anne's Lace flowers (my grandma taught me several) but again, I discovered that this is not part of the scope of this book.
I recommend this book but only to someone who is really in love with this uncommonly lovely common plant or someone who wants to teach kids about plant physiology. Elementary school Science teachers will probably get the most out of it, especially if they make it part of a field trip where kids can see the living flowers up close for themselves.

Parsleys, Fennels, and Queen Anne's Lace: Herbs and Ornamentals from the Umbel Family

ASIN: 0881928224 |
Book Description
Parsleys, Fennels, and Queen Anne's Lace is the gardener's introduction to the characteristics, cultivation, and history of one of the most distinctive families of the plant kingdom. These plants were well known to the Greeks and Romans — it was the juice of a member of the umbel family that Socrates was forced to drink — and the family was the first to be studied as such botanically, by Robert Morison in 1672. Yet even today the many herbs and ornamentals of this family are not as well known or appreciated as they should be. Parsleys, Fennels, and Queen Anne's Lace is for anyone interested in herbs, whether for their culinary value or as ornamentals.Customer Reviews:

Sleeping Partners: Cracker and Micky : Two Dogs With a Tale
Cecil Aldin Manufacturer: Souvenir Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0285635921 |
Book Description
Cracker was a very special dog. The white bull terrier, with a black spot over one eye and a comical disposition, became the most famous canine model in the world because he was the bosom pal and leading professional model of illustrator Cecil Aldin. In Aldin's studio, Cracker found his book companion and "straight man" Micky, who was generally to be seen stretched on a sofa. The pair became sleeping partners; hence the title of a series of drawings made over many months and published in book form, with no text except for one-word captions under each picture.
