The Plants Tell A Story
A cosmic tale in which the plants do the telling, from the series built on Maria Montessori's great lessons. It belongs with the timeline rather than with botany: plants were on land long before animals were, and they are the reason there was anything to breathe when the animals arrived. Written in English. The other titles in the series, including the animal tales, are separate items.
