What Do the Plants Say? by Lois WickstromMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alex hears the plants talking to her. She's very intrigued by this and wants to learn more of what they are saying to her. She tries a variety of methods to distinguish between the different "pops" and learns that they want to have a party. What's the best way to have a party? With helium of course!
This was a fun book but not my favorite by this author. She writes a lot of books with a science them, and while this one was still science focused, it had more of a mythical approach to it as well. I was not fond of the "talking to plants and thinking they speak to you" aspect. I do know that there is some research out there about talking to plants but I'm not super convinced of this having a true effect. I think for kids, it's best to keep it simple. I still recommend this book though!
