Hogan's The Dandelion (Raintree, 1979) presents the same information on the same level as Watts' Dandelion, but it is illustrated with impressionistic drawings rather than photographs. Claudia Schieper's An Apple Tree Through the Year (Carolrhoda, 1987) is also a well-written, nicely illustrated book covering the same topic as Apple Tree, but is intended for slightly older readers. This is likely to mislead or confuse young children. Unfortunately, a photo in Apple Tree includes a bin of oranges amidst several varieties of apples while the text describes the many different kinds of apples which may be seen at a fruit stand. Line drawings complement the photos and text, clarifying the information. ![]() Macro-photography shows the delicate symmetrical beauty of the dandelion seed heads.
