"Shiny, brown. Bumpy crown. What will grow? / Oak tree." Simple but pleasant rhymes give clues to the identity of seeds shown on the left-hand pages, while the right-hand pages (including four gatefolds) reveal the full-grown plant. Earth-toned gouache illustrations highlight nature's curves and patterns. Back matter on planting the featured seeds rounds out this nature-themed preschool read-aloud.

A question/answer format prompts readers to identify seven oviparous animals. Die-cut holes add tactile interest, but the rather vague ponderings ("In a pile. / What will hatch?") don't automatically signal correct answers ("Toothy smile-- / Crocodile"). Back matter provides information about each animal (and the non-included goldfinch from the cover) as well as a diagram of a chicken egg maturing.
