Overview
Originally published in 1896, bestselling author and naturalist Frances Theodora Parsons, writing under her married name, wanted to create a childr's reading book designed to help children develop their reading skills while learning all about plants and developing a lifelong interest in nature. Full of intricate sketches and illustrations and designed to follow plant's lives throughout a child's school year, this children's botany guide is full of interesting details told through a sweet and friendly narration.
