by Emily Morgan (Author)

"This book prompts inquisitive kids to learn about maple seeds, including the seeds' real name (no, not whirlybird), the work they do for maple trees, and how to uncover the little trees waiting to sprout from the seedlings. Next Time You See a Maple Seed is a mini class in how tall trees grow from tiny, twirling winged fruits. Awaken a sense of wonder in a child with the Next Time You See series from NSTA Kids. The books will inspire elementary-age children to experience the enchantment of everyday phenomena, such as maple seeds, Moon phases, pill bugs, fireflies, seashells, and sunsets. Especially designed to be experienced with an adult--be it a parent, teacher, or friend--Next Time You See books serve as a reminder that you don't have to look far to find something remarkable in nature."--
