The Dandelion's Cousin (Adonis Press)

This beautifully illustrated children’s book was created out of Gertrude Teutsch’s love for the harethistle, a tall relative of the dandelion, which grew around her home. As a gifted mother, teacher, and artist, she found a way of presenting the development of this plant to children through a delightful story-book. Her pictures and narrative enter imaginatively into the various stages and formations of the plant and bring them vividly alive. This book will engender a love for and lively interest in nature — a wonderful resource for parents as well as kindergarten and lower grades teachers.
