User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars We learned so much about flowers!
My 3-year-old daughter has loved this book since she was little. We have lots of Lois Ehlert’s books and love them all. We’ve learned so many different types of flowers and have since bought this book for two of her little girlfriends and her new baby girl cousin, too. Highly recommended as well as “Eating The Alphabet” by the same author.

4 Stars Gardening and nature
My daughter loves this book and I believe it is partly because we planted some bulbs together in the garden last fall. She just turned 3 and is in her first year of kindergarden. At school they are focusing on gardens this semester which is another reason I bought the book. She loves to pick flowers and will certainly enjoy seeing our “rainbow” grow this Spring. I only wish the book had been available as a board book or in a sturdier format as I fear it will not last too long.

5 Stars A big hit with my toddler
My 1 1/2 year old loves this book. She even calls it the Rainbow book. I bought it because I am really into gardening and she loves flowers. It is a great book to teach colors as well.

4 Stars Informative and Colorful.
This book would be perfect for a child who enjoys helping their parent with a garden, or a child mastering their color knowledge. It briefly explains the process of how a garden is started from seed/bulb, shows the growth of different colorful flowers and name the most common garden flowers. The pictures are basic but bold and color fills the pages which allows you to appreciate the next step in the process and the next page in the book.

5 Stars Wonderful book
My children have loved this book. With the pictures of the plants there are names next to each one. My kids liked to point and say the names of all of the flowers.

Pretty pictures and educational too!
