Grow Flower, Grow by Marie Smith

A flower starts out as a very small seed.

The seed gets planted in the dirt.

The seed needs lots of water to help it grow.

Soon, a green stem and green leaves will poke out of the dirt.

Then, a flower will start to bloom.

Water and sunlight are a flower's food.

So, water and sunlight will help keep a flower alive.

When I Grow Up

Written by Bella and Illustrated by Neil

At first I am a small seed. I live in the dirt. When I am small I soak up water and break open. I start to grow roots. My roots will grow down into the ground. My roots are very important because they get water and vitamins from the soil to help me grow. I will grow taller and pop out of the ground. Now I will grow taller and taller. My leaves start to grow. My leaves help me catch more water and sunlight. I make food using energy from the sun. As an adult I can grow flowers or fruit. Then I will make my own new seeds and drop them into the ground to start growing.

Penguins

I am black and white. I have wings and feathers but I cannot fly. I live in the Arctic but I do not get cold. I have a thick layer of fat that keeps me warm and my feathers are waterproof to keep me warm and dry when I go swimming. I am an amazing swimmer. I use my wings like flippers to help me move quickly through the water. When I am not swimming I have webbed feet to help me walk on the ice without slipping. When I want to get somewhere quickly I lay on my belly and slide on the ice. I am a penguin.
