Plant Parts

What is the most important part of a plant? The roots draw in nutrients and water from the soil. The stem holds it upright. Leaves take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, the ingredients needed in photosynthesis. In this comic book-style volume, each of these parts is a silly illustrated character making the case for why they are the one that matters most! The main content supports science curricula as well as knowledge building, a key component of the science of reading.
