Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. They lived alongside many ancient mammals that can no longer be found. Incredible changes on Earth have left us with fossils that scientists use to learn more about the ancestors of today's mammals.
Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. Lush, deep forests once grew where we now have frozen oceans and glaciers. Even though there have been incredible changes on Earth, there are some ancient plants that are still living today!
Earth was a lot different when dinosaurs were alive. Scientists study important clues that were left behind to learn what kinds of dinosaurs lived where, what they ate, and how fast they could run. Even though there have been incredible changes on Earth, there are still dinosaur relatives living today!

Grandpa told Mom, and Mom told me: The secret of a plant lives in every little seed. Seeds are truly amazing! Did you know that every seed, no matter how small (microscopic) or large (weighing up to 14 pounds), contains everything it needs to one day grow into a plant? Three generations of a gardening family work together to bring a backyard garden to full bloom. Young readers are taken through each important step, beginning with planting in the spring and ending with harvesting in the fall. And let's not forget the buzzy and buggy inhabitants, including bees, butterflies, and other insects (friends as well as pests). At the end of the harvest season, the family collects and stores the seeds for next year's garden. Rhyming text and lush artwork bring the wonders and joys of gardening to life. Back matter includes information about seeds.
