About Animal Pollinators
Product description Many plants depend on animals to help move pollen around so that the plants can reproduce. Readers will see how hummingbirds, mice, bats, and other animals play a big role in pollination. Simple text and supportive photos and diagrams help readers understand key ideas and details about this important science concept. Review "Though Ransom only mentions bees as pollinating agents, her introductions to flower functions and parts (which include glances at roots and stems as well) really stand alone as broad overviews. Still, Boothroyd's volumes do cover their limited topics in an inviting, systematic way. Each slim volume offers a bright, close-up nature photo on every page and one or two simple descriptive sentences. Frequent labels provide geographical information, flower names, or an additional fact. Insect Pollinators identifies six types of insects that transfer pollen, Animal Pollinators identifies eight other creatures―including humans―and Cross Pollination includes a reference to wind so that no pollen vector goes unmentioned. Self-Pollination clearly explains the value of this seed-making strategy and presents six common plants―from tomatoes to dandelions―that rely upon it. Each volume closes with a glossary and a rudimentary index. VERDICT: Suitable additions for those looking for material on plants or flowers."―School Library Journal, Series Made Simple ( Journal) About the Author Jennifer Boothroyd taught elementary school for many years.
