Given to us by a friend who was an elementary school teacher， this has been one of our children's favorite books -- endearing and enduring。 Science and art are a beautiful combo here with Ehlert's signature collage style。 Given to us by a friend who was an elementary school teacher， this has been one of our children's favorite books -- endearing and enduring。 Science and art are a beautiful combo here with Ehlert's signature collage style。 。。。more

We read this together during spring 2021 when he was 1。5 years old。 He liked the brightly colored illustrations， but didn’t seem to follow the steps of gardening as well as he likely will next spring* library book

Classic Ehlert with beautiful flowers that are both graphically simplified yet true to the specific species she names within the text。

Every fall a little girl and her mother plant a rainbow of flower bulbs in their garden。 In the spring they add to their garden with seeds of other colourful flowers， and plants all ready for replanting。 Their garden is beautiful。 Lovely illustrations。

A dense content book that is more suited to children older than 6 months。 Good discussion inducer， but may be a challenge for children who are unable to deal with cisual distraction。

A short book about flower gardening that would be a good fit for the youngest readers。 One section goes through all of the colors of the flowers in the garden， and those colors are tabbed pages that make it a little more fun。

A nice gardening story， with the bold brilliance of a flower garden truly captured by the bright， graphic illustrations。 I love the concept of a mother and child planning out a rainbow of a garden and the introduction to different types of flowers， as well as how to plant a garden in general。 My kids love learning about growing plants so they enjoyed this as well。

A mother and daughter are planting bulbs， seeds， and seedlings， and then watch them grow into a rainbow of flowers with all of their diverse colors。 This book is great for children in the age range of four to eight years old。 I would use this while accompanying an activity such as planting flowers which are common around mother's day。 Or for a science portion in the class as an activity as well。 A mother and daughter are planting bulbs， seeds， and seedlings， and then watch them grow into a rainbow of flowers with all of their diverse colors。 This book is great for children in the age range of four to eight years old。 I would use this while accompanying an activity such as planting flowers which are common around mother's day。 Or for a science portion in the class as an activity as well。 。。。more
