A warm, funny picture book about the circle of life – with bright neon colours throughout!
When a lonely cow called Annabelle finds a tiny flower one spring day, it brings a dance to her step and a smile to her moo. Over time, the flower grows, blooms and changes colour, until one day autumn comes and blows all the petals away. Poor Annabelle is alone again, until spring returns and she finds a new flower – and another, and another!
This is an adorable preschool read.
Bright and colourful illustrations enhance the appeal of the story by drawing the eyes to them while reading. Annabelle learns about life cycles through watching Flower grow, die and reproduce even more flowers throughout the seasons.
Flower gives Annabelle such great joy. I find flowers always brighten my day as they do hers. Repetitive phrases and fairly simple language make this book perfect for emerging and newly independent readers. It’s also a gentle and affirming storytime choice.
