A great Mother's Day gift!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Sunflower Book (Paperback)
I purchased this for my mother and she loves it. The book is a nice combination of facts/trivia, growing tips and recipes, plus the illustrations are stunning. The unusual size of the book (tall and narrow) adds to the fun and enhances the illustrations.
