Product Description
In this exquisitely illustrated picture book, one of America's foremost poets for young people describes the ongoing cycle of life. A seed sprouts and is quickly devoured by a bug. Then a bright green frog appears and makes a meal of the bug. And the story goes on...from bug to snake to hawk to hunter...until a seed begins to sprout. This wonderful poem deftly deals with a sensitive subject and is inventively illustrated by a prodigiously talented young artist. |

mysterious and beautiful by marjorie ingall  5 Stars
January 03, 2008
both my daughter and i found this book a comforting way to talking about the death of my father. the illustrations are ravishing -- very textured-looking, which i'm not sure you can see on a computer monitor. and the poem about the cycle of life is dark, yes, in the way that death is dark, but also inspiring -- we're all connected, death is inevitable, and ultimately, the death of one thing nurtures another. the story goes on. i think adults are more likely to be troubled by the narrative than kids; i think kids (my daughter was five when we read it, and now my three-year-old loves it) are drawn to the mystery, and yes, even the violence (not explicitly depicted) of animals killing other animals or humans killing animals for food. the language and rhythms of the poem, too, are beautiful. this is a book to facilitate discussion with your kids.

weird story about the cycle of life by Karyn W (Kansas City, MO United States)  2 Stars
February 21, 2007
The cover potrays such a cute looking frog and the illustrations are very bright and creative in a collage-like way, But it was such a surprise as I don't read many young children's books where a guy shoots down a hawk for a coyote to eat. I don't recommend this book as the content is too bleak for young readers.
