The story "The Tiny Seed," written by Eric Carle serves not only to entertain its young readers, but expand their vocabulary as well. The connections I have made regard the use of descriptive vocabulary along with the vibrant illustrations. The illustrations serve their purpose as aids in teaching kids about descriptive language. The illustrations also tell a story that corresponds with the theme in the narration : the life cycle. The mix of descriptive vocabulary and a deep meaningful story about life and death stays appropriate for the age the book is directed to. I have included a lesson plan worksheet that I found online. The worksheet discusses the cycles of the tiny seed and incorporates the theme of the cycle of life with all of the different places the tiny seed goes. The style of writing being so detailed and colorful tastefully complements the unique illustrations.
