Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- Full of bright, colorful photos and illustrations, this book provides an apt, anecdotal snapshot of the variety and function of flowers. A handbook-sized volume with topical organization, it will entice and invite youngsters to see the beauty around them. Diversity and adaptation are front and center. In the beginning dual-page introduction, readers are told to draw, examine, and dissect flowers to gain a true understanding. Double-page treatments are devoted to discussions of color, pollen, or specific environments, to name a few. This is not a coherent well-developed study of the subject, but rather a progression of little "tastes" that presumably will create an appetite for later learning or provide the hook for more real research. It's a browser's feast, with little detail and no depth. The lack of further reading, however, is a major drawback for a book that seems to stake its success on being a vivid signpost at the beginning of the road. --Steve Matthews, Foxcroft School, Middleburg, VA

I just purchased this book last week and I absolutely love it! My friends and family have already commented that the quality and style of my floral arrangements has improved...and I haven't even finished reading the book yet! The first section of the book gives a very informative overview of the basic components of floral arranging. This section is a great learning tool for beginners and a wonderful refresher for intermediate floral designers. Since I am fairly new to floral arranging, the step by step instructions and illustrations contained in the book have been a tremendous help. There are also a lot of beautiful full-color pictures in this book that really stir your creativity. I highly recommend this book for anyone with an interest in or appreciation for flower arranging!!!

I bought this book after completing a floral design course. I wanted ideas for creating bouquets and centerpieces for friends and family. This book has many ideas and is arranged primarily by season. The photos are exquisite and there are complete and easy to follow 'recipes' for for recreating them. The only reason I do not give this book 5 stars is because of outdated information about material to support floral arrangements in water. For example, there is much mention of chicken wire (no longer widely used) and water storing gel beads) are not mentioned at all.

Nice, but not great.
Nice pictures of settings with flowers. A professional's opinion, without much objective support. More like sharing ideas, which has value in this industry. Read more
