The Tiny Seed Worksheets

by Eric Carle

Reading Level L · Lexile 500L · ATOS 2.7

It is autumn, and a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and far across the land, and one of them is tiny, smaller than any of the others. On the way the sun burns up one seed, another lands on an icy mountain, one falls into the ocean and one drifts down onto the desert; when the wind stops, a bird eats a seed, and in winter a hungry mouse eats another. Will the tiny seed ever grow? Eric Carle's bright collage classic follows a flower's life cycle through all four seasons.
