Plants That Make You Sniffle and Sneeze

From School Library Journal Grade 4-7-Lerner's new plant journey takes readers through the world of the pollen producers that cause the scourge of hay fever and similar allergic maladies. The first chapter describes how pollen is made by a plant and distributed by insects or wind. The remainder of the text discusses the waves of pollen as they occur during the year. The black-and-white and full-color illustrations are as lovely as they are informative. A list of ways to avoid the tiny particles is appended. A good choice for field study, in-class science, or for general informational reading.
