Now it's spring and a little green shoot bursts from the seed and appears from under the soil. Beneath the surface, the new plant's roots spread out in search of water and nutrients. One day the little shoot will be a tall, strong tree. None of this would be possible without soil! Inside this book, readers will discover how important soil is to plant life. How do plants get water and nutrients from soil? Why would trees fall over if there was no soil? And why is good, healthy soil essential to farmers who grow and produce most of the foods we eat? Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of an early elementary audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance not only to learn, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. With its stunning photographs and surprising, high-interest facts about a material that most of us take for granted, the book makes learning about soil a lively, engaging experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Lawrence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1627248374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781627248372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bearport Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e177319 \/ Why Do Most Plants Need Soil?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2015 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016 pg. 173 - Recommended, Satisfactory","brand":"Ellen Lawrence","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939381805311,"sku":"9781627248372","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":45447311982847,"sku":"9781627248372","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0d1da7e2-d27c-4227-be8d-c90ec979ea53.jpg?v=1681441161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-do-most-plants-need-ellen-lawrence-9781627248372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
