"Anno's Magic Seeds is magical as well as logical with arithmetic woven into the text and illustrations. . . . Children, ages eight and above, will enjoy counting and predicting how many seeds there will be. Anno's story has a deeper message for the reader. He writes about saving seeds to replant the following year, increasing the harvest, and selling seeds to the community. He introduces issues of hunger and of how much is enough. He writes about generosity and about self-preservation. This is a wonderful, rich, inspirational story." Excerpt of review from Nature's Course (September/October 1996) published by CCEL.
