Difference flowers in bloom are described in this book as well as the female and male parts of some of the flowers. This is a nice book with pretty illustrations of the flowers. I can't see children really getting into this book unless there was a specific flower they were trying to learn about. It doesn't have much of a story line. ( )

This book, Spring Blossoms, is another great informational text. It describes the different blossoms that bloom in the spring. Two children are walking through the forest. During their stroll, the children come across a variety of trees. The readers learn that there are male and female parts of some trees. A lot more botanical facts are given through the entirety of the book. The story is told in the form of poetry. This book not only teaches the readers about trees and their blossoms; but the readers also get to experience the art and the poetry with in the book. I would use this book to encourage learning of the world around us.
