Consider From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons.
“Bright, picture-driven, and firmly aimed at early elementary listeners, this book walks through pollination, seed formation, and germination in clear, child-accessible steps. The strongest value is the combination of simple, age-appropriate vocabulary and colorful diagrams that make basic plant processes memorable during a single read-aloud.

No hands-on exercises are provided.”
