Customer Reviews

Good, but not the best of the series.

I am completely delighted with "The Little Guides" series. The format is extremely user friendly, and each guide is packed with useful and interesting information. I enjoy reading them, but my 6 year old daughter gives them the most use. While the guides are written at an adult level, there is plenty that she can read and understand. I currently own "Sharks," "Birds," "Mammals," "Space," "Whales," and "Flowers.""Flowers" has five parts: 1) Learning about your landscape, 2) Flowering annuals and biennials, 3) Flowering bulbs, 4) Flowering perennials, and 5) Flowering trees, shrubs, and vines. While there is plenty that younger children can learn from this guide, it is definitely targeted towards a more mature audience. In general, this is more of a "how to" guide than the others. There is also less in the way of photographs and illustrations than in the other guides.It is still a good general guide to flowers, but comparatively not the best volume in the series.
