Picture Book Review: The Tiny Seed

The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, Little Simon, New York, 1987. 
This is a good story of the life cycle of a plant.  First in the autumn it floats on the wind.  Some of the fellow seeds don’t make it, the fall in the water, or are scorched by the sun.  However some make it to good soil, where they stay all winter under the snow.  A mouse eats some, a bird another, but a few begin to grow.  Some are choked by weeds, or pulled and given to a girlfriend, or stomped by feet.  The Tiny See becomes the biggest flower of all; and then in autumn his leaves all blow off, and his seeds ride the wind.
Very interesting artwork, which appears to be from a sponges; it has a nice texture.
