Courtney (5) read this to the family tonight with help. Cute!

[Erica Gronowski · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about a seed that Seymour brings to splat. They don't know what it is so they plant it in some soil, put it in a sunny place on the window, water it and wait for it to grow. The seed ends up turning into a daisy flower that splat gives to his mother as a gift.

I gave this book a 5 out of 5 because I enjoy the splat the cat books. They have good messages and this particular book is a great one to use in the classroom for many different things.

Oopsie-Daisy is another adventure of Splat the Cat and begins when his pet mouse, Seymour, finds a seed. Splat and Seymour have no idea what the seed will grow into, so they go to the library to look up information. After learning about growing plants from books and the librarian, they bury the seed and keep a watchful eye over it. They imagine that it might become a big tree or an exotic plant. They almost give up, until a small sprout emerges from the soil! They take good care of the plant and discover that it was a seed for a flower. This book would be a great introduction for a science unit, as it includes a variety of scientifically appropriate terms (stem, bloom, bud) in the context of a fiction story. It appropriately depicts the plant cycle and teaches about proper plant care. I also love that the characters gather information by going to the library. After reading this book, children could go to their own library to investigate a topic the class is interested in. This will prime children that books and the library are a resource to gather information on subjects.

This was a very good Splat the Cat book.... he is depressed because it's raining and beginning of Spring so tired of being indoors. His friend brings him a seed. They want to plant it so they know to go to the library and look up how to plant and grow the seed. (which I enjoyed the author teaching the children about libraries and how nice librarians are)He follows and watches and waits for the seed to grow and finally it does. This book was indeed a story that was a Science lesson without being a Science lesson. loved it!

Splat the Cat finds a seed, goes to the library to learn about gardening, and then anxiously awaits the fruits of his labor.

Nothing too special here. If you like Splat and you're looking for a spring gardening title, this could be it. PreK-2.

This is a great book for kids who are learning to read for themselves. The text is small, so that could present a challenge, but the pictures are large and fun and the story is interesting enough to keep a child reading.

You can't go wrong with splat the cat. We love all his books. This one is a sweet story that we were glad to add to our bookshelf. Splat plants a seed and then imagines what it might grow into it while he waits for it to sprout :)

Great for teaching about planting flowers. Fun and short read, without the science being overwhelming.

These little paperbacks, often with stickers to motivate purchase, can be hit or miss. I liked this one. Just a simple story about growing a flower. Sometimes simple is all you need.

Splat gets a seed and plants. He tends to. Then once it grows he gives it away.

Splat the Cat is adorable and wonderfully quirky. This book probably isn't the strongest book of the series, but it still is adorable and wonderfully quirky.

Splat and Seymour find a seed. Another great Splat the Cat book. So glad we found this at the library.
