BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

A purple cactus has information for us humans.  Flowers’ colors aren’t for us humans to enjoy, they are to signal the pollinators to help them. 

The slightly annoyed tone of the purple cactus is a great voice for this book.  The information is actually relayed very simply and understandably.  I think middle school teachers will like this for science class just as much as elementary teachers.  Wherever they talk about pollination.
