Task Four

Pick, Pull, Snap.

When researching plant orientated orientated books for children I stumbled across this book by Lola Schafer, Pick, Pull Snap. It's a very simple book that explains a lot to children about the life cycle of certain plants . I really like the illustrations and simplicity, tone of the whole book. However what I most think works is the subtle, colour scheme throughout the book.

Here is a PDF I found of quite a lot of the book.

Planting a rainbow.

Simple yet really visually stunning book for children regarding plants and the colour. Simple, stylistic illustrations I really like the concept and simplicity of the book. The cover is something I think chilren will find really appealing.

Again quite a strong selection of books relating to plants and seeds.
