Absolutely beautiful book。 Read it cover to cover with my 8， 5， and 3 year olds。 We borrowed it from the library but I’m thinking about purchasing a copy。 Loved it。

I picked this book up thinking it was a floral atlas。 Turns out it's a children's book， but it's still quite delightful and worth a read by adults。 They are semi-divided by types， such as orchids， bulbs， bromeliads， and others。 There are pages dedicated to rare and endangered flowers， such as a sweeet little water lily that only grows in one hot spring in the world。 Creepy kids will enjoy the Venus flytrap page; children who love animals may be saddened at the frog skeletons and other little cri I picked this book up thinking it was a floral atlas。 Turns out it's a children's book， but it's still quite delightful and worth a read by adults。 They are semi-divided by types， such as orchids， bulbs， bromeliads， and others。 There are pages dedicated to rare and endangered flowers， such as a sweeet little water lily that only grows in one hot spring in the world。 Creepy kids will enjoy the Venus flytrap page; children who love animals may be saddened at the frog skeletons and other little critters in the bellies of the flytraps。The illustrations are almost abstract， though for the most part capture the essence of the physical characteristics of the flowers presented。 I especially liked the pages dedicated to the stunning bird of paradise flower。The book ends with a brief description of how to grow your own flowers， including repurposing old rainboots as flower pots。 This would be a fun read for a child interested in plants， or to perhaps spark an interest for a child prior to a visit to a botanical garden。 。。。more

This picture book was so much fun to look at and read！ Right away， it captured my full attention， delighted my imagination with unexpected facts （I love bats and never expected there to be so many tidbits about bats contained within， turns out they have quite the relationship with flowers in habitats around the world！）， and answered some of the questions I've always had about flowers but haven't taken the time to look up。 It's got a wonderful balance of pretty/creepy， everyday/rare， fun/serious This picture book was so much fun to look at and read！ Right away， it captured my full attention， delighted my imagination with unexpected facts （I love bats and never expected there to be so many tidbits about bats contained within， turns out they have quite the relationship with flowers in habitats around the world！）， and answered some of the questions I've always had about flowers but haven't taken the time to look up。 It's got a wonderful balance of pretty/creepy， everyday/rare， fun/serious - something I always appreciate in picture books meant to teach about the diversity of the natural world。 It will appeal to children of all genders， ages， and interests。 What I found disappointing was the predictable placement of the golden bulbs， it wasn't any fun to find them， and I'm someone who still enjoys Highlights magazine。 Why put it in there if you put so little effort into the placement？ Also， while I appreciate the art style of this book， it doesn't do the best job of conveying the actual appearance of the flowers。 I had an image search going alongside my read in order to see what the flowers presented really look like， and think perhaps a visual glossary could be included containing real life pictures of the flowers to distinguish them from one another。 。。。more

Mom's ReviewAbsolutely lovely。 We have high expectations for Zommer's work， and The Big Book of Blooms does not disappoint。 User-friendly for all ages; information is presented topically and in small chunks accompanying bold illustrations。 The oversize pages filled with blooms fill your field of vision and the information fascinates。 Some is common knowledge， like seed dispersal， but much was novel for us， such as how Venus flytraps can only open and close a few times before dying。 We especially Mom's ReviewAbsolutely lovely。 We have high expectations for Zommer's work， and The Big Book of Blooms does not disappoint。 User-friendly for all ages; information is presented topically and in small chunks accompanying bold illustrations。 The oversize pages filled with blooms fill your field of vision and the information fascinates。 Some is common knowledge， like seed dispersal， but much was novel for us， such as how Venus flytraps can only open and close a few times before dying。 We especially enjoyed learning about nocturnal pollinators。 I enjoyed the sections about Kew Gardens （which I knew nothing about）， birds of paradise （which I always associate with CA freeways）， and protecting plant life and the environment。 The Big Book of Blooms is a delight to behold， and educational besides。 Oh， I almost forgot to mention – there is a golden bulb hidden on multiple pages that you have to find as you read。 Kinda like Goldbug from Richard Scarry。 Ideal for nature lovers and curious kids and adults， The Big Book of Blooms brings me joy and T entertainment and education。 The information is at T's level， but also good for adults who have next to no flower knowledge。。。yours truly。Son's Review（Age: 5）T enjoys perusing the book on his own and having sections read to him。 He especially enjoys the delightful subjects of bird poop， poisons， and corpse flowers。When his dad invited him to read: *emphatically* Mom and I have other plans to read [The Big Book of Blooms]。I'm looking for the birds of paradise section。 I found it！Let's read the "Dangerous and Deadly" section！I never knew that！ （White flowers are mostly pollinated at night。）*laughing* Plop plop！ They poop out the seeds！Note: A review copy was provided in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Why is this book so beautiful？

A great introduction to the world of flowers， flowering plants， seeds， poisonous plants， and more！Throughout the book， children of all ages are encouraged to locate the "golden bulb" in 15 "hiding places" throughout the book。 There is a key at the end to help you find what you may have missed。Also， there are a couple of pages of "Flower Words" （glossary） and an Index。 Beautifully done！ A great introduction to the world of flowers， flowering plants， seeds， poisonous plants， and more！Throughout the book， children of all ages are encouraged to locate the "golden bulb" in 15 "hiding places" throughout the book。 There is a key at the end to help you find what you may have missed。Also， there are a couple of pages of "Flower Words" （glossary） and an Index。 Beautifully done！ 。。。more

WAUW！ Weer een geweldig boek door Yuval Zommer！ Ditmaal over bloemen。 Allerlei soorten bloemen komen voorbij en alles wat hen uniek en mooi maakt。 Ik heb echt genoten van de gekozen bloemen en planten， wat een mooie selectie。 Later komen we nog wat te weet over kwekerijen， bloementaal， en hoe je zelf kunt kweken。 Er is ook een woordenlijst wat ik altijd fijn vind als die aan kinderboeken worden toegevoegd， zo kunnen kinderen zelf een woord uitvinden （zonder een woordenboek te pakken）。 En naast d WAUW！ Weer een geweldig boek door Yuval Zommer！ Ditmaal over bloemen。 Allerlei soorten bloemen komen voorbij en alles wat hen uniek en mooi maakt。 Ik heb echt genoten van de gekozen bloemen en planten， wat een mooie selectie。 Later komen we nog wat te weet over kwekerijen， bloementaal， en hoe je zelf kunt kweken。 Er is ook een woordenlijst wat ik altijd fijn vind als die aan kinderboeken worden toegevoegd， zo kunnen kinderen zelf een woord uitvinden （zonder een woordenboek te pakken）。 En naast dat het heel fijn is geschreven is het ook nog eens PRACHTIG， ja dit moet met hoofdletters， getekend。 Echt wauw。 Het enige waar ik wel om moest lachen？ De oogjes。 :POh， en blijkbaar is er iets waar je naar kunt zoeken。。。 dus deze meid gaat zo nog eens het boek door om te zoeken！ 。。。more

Een supergroot boek met alles wat je maar zou willen weten over bloemen。 Hoe ziet de anatomie van een bloem er uit？ Hoe groot is de tulpenfamilie？ Hoe reist een zaadje het liefst？ En welke soorten bloemen zijn er eigenlijk allemaal？ Dit boek behandelt alles over de verschillende bloemsoorten; van bloemenfamilies tot de betekenis van bloemen。 In 28 hoofdstukken wordt informatie gegeven per thema of per bloemsoort met behulp van kleurrijke illustraties。 Inclusief hoofdstukken over planten in nood， Een supergroot boek met alles wat je maar zou willen weten over bloemen。 Hoe ziet de anatomie van een bloem er uit？ Hoe groot is de tulpenfamilie？ Hoe reist een zaadje het liefst？ En welke soorten bloemen zijn er eigenlijk allemaal？ Dit boek behandelt alles over de verschillende bloemsoorten; van bloemenfamilies tot de betekenis van bloemen。 In 28 hoofdstukken wordt informatie gegeven per thema of per bloemsoort met behulp van kleurrijke illustraties。 Inclusief hoofdstukken over planten in nood， hoe je zelf bloemen kunt kweken， bloemenwoorden en met een register achterin。 En kan je de bijzondere bloembol vinden die verstopt is in het boek？ Groot hardcover boek。 Een leuk kijk- en ontdek boek。 Uit dezelfde reeks als ‘Het Zinderende Zee Boek’ en ‘het Bijzondere Beestjes Boek’。 。。。more

They embellish our world， inside and outside， with a distinctive array of color。 They represent the continuation of life， bold and subtle elegance， and silently convey meaning when spoken words are absent。 （It is said they have their own language。） We look for one or more as harbingers of seasonal shifts。 Sometimes their presence is fleeting， and other times it lasts against all odds， returning year after year。 These living beings， flowers， burst forth in affirmation。 In the fifth book in the Bi They embellish our world， inside and outside， with a distinctive array of color。 They represent the continuation of life， bold and subtle elegance， and silently convey meaning when spoken words are absent。 （It is said they have their own language。） We look for one or more as harbingers of seasonal shifts。 Sometimes their presence is fleeting， and other times it lasts against all odds， returning year after year。 These living beings， flowers， burst forth in affirmation。 In the fifth book in the Big Book series， The Big Book Of Blooms （Thames & Hudson， in association with Royal Botanic Gardens KEW， May 5， 2020） written and illustrated by Yuval Zommer， readers are introduced to flower families， flower anatomy， pollinators， specific flower groups， seeds and seed travel， flowers to treat with care， professional gardeners and how we relate to and garden flowers。 Reading this book is like strolling through a botanical bed of beauty。My full recommendation: https://librariansquest。blogspot。com/。。。 。。。more
