My son and I BOTH loved this book. It was both fun to read and informative. The pictures were brilliant with color and seemed to bounce off the page. Every color of the rainbow was represented. After we finished reading the book, my son wanted to plant his own rainbow. It awakened his curiousity.

My 3 year old daughter loves this book! We borrowed it from our local library, read it 2-3 times daily, and had great trauma returning it. It has now been a month since it went back and she is still talking about it and has it on her christmas list. She has impressed the neighbors by asking if they had any morning glories or delphiniums and she was eager to help me plant my bulbs and explore all the flowers in our yard. She has always been a flower lover, but this book really stimulated her interest.

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.

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.

This book is wonderful for any child who likes to be outdoors surrounded by plants and colors. I love the illustrations.

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.

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.

Both my son and daughter enjoyed this book for years. My preschool teacher friend has this as a permanent fixture in her spring curriculum. Very sweet book!

This book was in perfect conditions. I have been in Book stores were books are less taken care than this one. The way it was package did not allow it to be damaged in the mailbox. I received it days before I espected it.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a Lois Ehlert book I didn't love...I used them for years as an art teacher and am still using them as a kindergarten teacher. This particular book is great for teaching color concepts to little ones and we always make color wheel flowers after reading the book. Great drawings, simple, but informative text. Definitely a great addition to any classroom library or for little ones at home.
