This is a very beautiful but busy picture book about what is inside of a flower. As a school librarian, I think it would be difficult to use it as a read aloud because there are so many labels and side notes in the illustrations. However I can see why these things were done because there is so much happening with the parts of plants, the pollination process and his plants grow. I love that the author included her resources. Good picture book about flowers & their importance in our world
