Advantages: SOFT, FULL OF SEEDS AND FLAVOUR, VERY MOREISH.
Disadvantages: YOU REALLY WILL WANT ANOTHER SLICE....AND ANOTHER...!

...To seed or not to seed, that is the question! Well as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing better!!! If I were to be stopped on the street by a man with a microphone and a very large camera, and asked what my favourite bread was, I would have to say, without a shadow of a doubt, Warburtons Seeded Batch. There is no bread finer, in my humble opinion! So what is it? Well it is a loaf of great distinction in our house, the creme de la creme of bakery produce. Made outwith a tin, and therefore very soft and doughy at the sides, it is full to bursting with all the great and good of seediness! Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sunflower and linseed, even millet for the singing canaries amongst us! Sliced thick, it is so nourishing and flavoursome, soft, yet with the real bite and crunch of the seeds giving it a somewhat nutty texture... Read review

Disadvantages: Sesame Seeds in your bra attract squirrels

...Firstly let me tell you that I am not a health food fanatic - far from it! I like food, lots of it, as long as it has flavour. This is where my passion for Munchy Seeds comes in. THE PRODUCT Munchy Seeds, by Lawncourt Harvest Ltd. This particular mix is Sunflower, Pumpkin and Sesame Seeds though there are two other varieties available.

Advantages: Great illustrations. Teaches about the life cycle of a seed.
Disadvantages: Not for pre-school children as longer than Carle's usual stories.

...I use this book with Reception and Year 1 children to teach them about the life cycle of a seed and the seasons and weather conditions associated with each season. ~ The story ~ It is all set in the present tense (which is the only element of this that I'm not overly keen on) The story begins in: Autumn ~ when the strong wind blows flower seeds and carries them in all different directions. Amongst all of the seeds there is one tiny seed and the question is poised as to whether it will be able to keep up with the others. It tells of all the hazards faced by seeds, e.g. landing on an icy mountain, falling in to the ocean, landing in the desert where it never rains, being eaten by a bird! But thanks to it's 'tiny-ness' the bird doesn't see the tiny seed and it settles down in to the earth........ Winter ~ As the seeds... Read review

Advantages: Timesless story about life cycle and seasons
Disadvantages: Could be overlooked!

...When I started teaching in the 1980's (how old?), Eric Carle was "the " author of the time and his books seemed to take pride of place on the shelves in every primary school library. Over the years, with the emergence of so many new authors and a dazzling array of genres, this has changed, but the books can still be found in schools, and are still widely read. WHY THE REVIEW? Earlier this week, I was asked to teach a science lesson to a class of Key Stage 1 children with "The Tiny Seed" as the starting point. Why this book? Were there not newer, "better" books to choose from? Apparently not, so it was a "return to the past" and what a great revisit it turned out to be. THE STORY It is basically a story about…wait for it… a tiny seed. No surprises there, and is neatly divided into seasons Autumn The wind blows, the seeds...
