This review is from: The Flower Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Hardcover)

Roses are red, violets are blue & they're only two of the flowers in this bright & informative amaryllis to zinnia alphabet book for young readers.

With Leslie Evans' gorgeous & inspiring artwork of the flowers & clues to Jerry Pallotta's text, we are seamlessly taught our letters & come away with not only what each letter means, we also are inspired to connect ideas portrayed throughout the pictures.

There is even an Artist's Notes page on which is given details of the histories given to each plant; useful & curious trivia that completes this perfect bouquet of learning. Very well done - a delight to both my eyes & my mind!
