An excellent resource.

Plants and Their Children by Mrs. William Starr Dana

Written in 1896 as a book to be read to children, it is interesting. The language is a bit stilted, as it was at the time, I assume. Ms. Dana tried to instill of love a plants in children. I hope she did. An interesting read.
