Summary: One Seed, One Hundred Watermelons!
Review: If you teach kindergarten and you plant seeds with your class, then this is a book for you! Two children, one boy and one girl, plant a garden. They begin by planting one watermelon seed. They continue planting, two seeds, then three, all the way to ten. For each number, a different kind of seed is planted. When they examine the fruits of their labor, they find their yeild is ten times what they originally planted! This is a great book to reinforce counting by tens. Some of the vegetables are actually grouped into noticeable groups of ten. Color words and other adjectives are used to describe every fruit or vegetable in their harvest. This book is filled with concepts that are introduced in kindergarten and a great addition to my classroom library!
