 Rating:  - Long windedThis book was a disappointment. I bought the board book version expecting something similar to "The very hungry caterpillar" which my one year old adores. This book is much longer, the writing is not suitable for reading to a one year old, much less clear and much harder to follow the story.

Rating:  - The basics of botany in a beautiful picture bookEric Carle is great at imparting information to children in an appealing story format and in this book he covers the annual cycle of a flower from a seed.

It's not a new story but it is expressed in words which zing with anticipation and delight. All bound together with Carle's trademark illustrations, mixing colours and media to entice you further and further into the book. For young readers and adults sharing books with children, this book ... Read More: |
