The Life Cycle of a Bean
By Linda Tagliaferro
This early reader book captures the development of the green snap bean from seed through germination, growth, flower development, pollination, and seed development. It does not depict commercial green bean production but focuses on the growth of a few plants. This would be an excellent book to teach about the life cycle of a plant. The book includes a glossary, a recommended reading list, and a list of suggested Internet sites.
