Publisher's Synopsis

"[An] extravagantly beautiful creation. It is unusual in its ingenious way of teaching botany and interesting words to the littlest of readers."
-Publishers Weekly

"Ms. Heller's colors and drawings are as electrifying as ever."
-Los Angeles Times


The reason for a flower is to manufacture seeds, but Ruth Heller shares a lot more about parts of plants and their functions in her trademark rhythmic style.
