BR 1-13: The Tiny Seed

"Some petals drop from the giant flower and they sail along with the bright leaves over the land and down to the ground.".(1991, p.10, Carle）



This book is depicting the journey of a small species. Skipped in the autumn wind, and swooped down on the ground, it blooms beautiful flower bud is out soon. My mother's hobby is gardening. My house has many foliage plant. So, I have been interested in gardening or cultivation when I was child. So, I tried at read this book.

It is the picture book which I pictured the story of kinds to go on a trip across a mountain and the sea that seeds are born newly before long, and a new trip begins in.To see a postcard of The Tiny Seed, I became a fan immediately.The illustration is drawn in paper-cutting, and a very warm texture is felt. A big flower is drawn to fill the cover. I thought for infants from the simplicity articulateness at first. However, this story was very exiting. We give a casual look at flower or tree. However, they are ecstatic about being alive too and which are classified under the same category as human.

This story makes me feel so. I used to tear flower with my friends on the my way to and from school when I was child. Thinking back now, I feel bad about what I did to plants because I want to take good care of it. I would think of what when I read this book at the age of a child, ｓuch a question sprang out incidentally.
