Fantastic Flowers

With rhythmic, rhyming text and beautifully patterned painting, Fantastic Flowers introduces young readers to 17 flowers that resemble all kinds of things. Budding botanists will be amazed at how much they look like upside-down pants, wild monkeys and even tiny babies! Fantastic Flowers encourages close observation of nature and visual object identification with exuberance and charm. Back matter explains what a flower is and how it is pollinated, and provides photos of each flower along with its common and scientific name, native range and pollinators. Children can compare and contrast the whimsical paintings of the flowers with the photos.
