Description

A gentle, illustrated guide invites curious youngsters to explore the world of wildflowers that dot fields and woods in spring and summer. With forty‑eight bright, full‑colour plates, each page shows a single blossom clearly, making it easy to match the flower you find on a walk. The book is compact enough for a child’s hands yet rich with detail that brings every petal, leaf and seed pod to life.

The text is written especially for young readers, using only a few new words and grouping the flowers by colour—blue, yellow, white—so a child can locate a picture quickly. Simple explanations introduce basic parts such as the calyx, sepals, petals and stamens, turning each discovery into a little lesson about how flowers grow and attract bees, birds and butterflies. It encourages kids to look closer, name what they see, and delight in the hidden wonders of the garden.
