中文简介：

路易斯想要一只狗，但他的奶奶坚持说：“这附近的狗已经够多了”。但是小区里有多少条狗呢？给市政厅写一封信问一下就知道啦。当发现市政厅并没有对这一群体进行正式统计时，路易斯和他的奶奶履行了他们的公民义务，自己动手解决了这一问题。他们一起遇到了各种各样的狗，它们的名字和性格都很有趣。完成统计后，奶奶知道路易斯想念一只名叫巴卡拉瓦的混血狗，它需要一个新家。 菲利普·斯蒂德（Philip Stead）和凯迪克大奖获得者马修·科德尔（Matthew Cordell）再次按照《跟着青蛙走》和《特别快递》的传统，讲述了古怪而可爱的祖孙两人的故事。

英文简介：

The transformative life cycle of a sunflower plays out in this bold read-aloud by Sibert honoree Antoinette Portis.To understand how a seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. With evocative and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the book explaining the science of plant life cycles.
