ALA/Booklist
There's an abundance of detail in this attractive first work in the "What's Inside" series, but it's never overwhelming . . . The pages overflow with life.
Publishers Weekly
In this nonfiction series starter, Ignotofsky provides a detailed examination of the anatomy of flowers, covering seeds, stems, leaves, roots, and each element's individual functions, as well as seeds' journeys and growing processes, and flowers' various uses. Fluid, friendly art in muted retro tones, rendered in a mix of traditional and digital styles, makes the information visually appealing for a range of age groups. Colorful botanicals pop against occasional interspersed chalkboardlike backgrounds, and plentiful labels and diagrams will aid curious readers. The straightforward prose sometimes feels underwhelming in comparison ("Whatever you/ plant in your garden/ will be lovely"), but budding botanists will appreciate this floral primer. Back matter includes a brief list of sources and further resources. Ages 4-7. (Feb.)
