Little Wanderers
Margaret Warner Morley
Read by SweetHome
This book discusses a great variety of plants and their seeds in a simple, yet interesting way that children will enjoy. As the books says, "Plants are great travelers; they often wander far and wide. Sometimes they even cross the ocean and take up their abode in a new land.” The importance of why seeds “travel” and the various means by which they move are investigated. ( SweetHome) (1 hr 58 min)

Reviews
Good short audiobook
Al
Thank you for recording this book. The book is only less than 2hrs to listen, so please take a listen. It was recorded well with the same speaker and she read with great inflections making it fun to listen too. Great short facts about different plants and how they disperse their seeds. It’s a good audiobook for kids.
Good book, and I can't get enough of the Narrator's voice!
