a very dreamy picturebook

"Seed Magic" is a book about a little girl who discovers the beauty of nature via an old man she meets in the park. This book teaches children to see beauty in those things that others may find ugly. It is a good book that shows children to think out of the box and to find beauty in all things. The concept is very simple and the book is short and to the point. This book also provides examples of kindness and compassion to older individuals and disabled individuals.

I like that they opened with a person burning at the stake. Also, the chapter headings were completely, fantastically, awesomely hilarious, although I'm not certain they were supposed to be. I think I'll check out some of the others in this series, just for the history in a capsule novelty of it all. Plus, the covers are most excellent.
