Reviews
A large-format introduction to flowers and their pollinators... Zommer employs agile brushwork and a fondness for graceful lines and bright colors to bring to life bustling bouquets from a range of habitats, from rainforest to desert. A floral fantasia for...budding botanists.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Zommer's refreshingly clever, bright, watercolor illustrations of flowers, insects, and birds flow across double-page spreads, some vertical, some horizontal... This joins four other books in Zommer's excellent Big Book series.-- "Booklist"
