In The Big Book of Blooms, the next installment in the wildly
successful Big Book series, Yuval Zommer's charming illustrations bring
to life some of the most colorful, flamboyant, and unusual flowers from
across the globe.
In the opening pages, readers will learn all about botany, including how
to recognize different types of flowers. Subsequent pages illustrate the
various habitats that are home to flora such as pitcher plants, the
giant water lily, and the weirdly wonderful corpse flower. Readers will
discover which flowers are endangered and why some blooms are fragrant
or colorful, not to mention grisly details about carnivorous and
poisonous flowers.
This title pairs picture-book charm and concise, informative text to
create a beautiful book for children to return to. Zommer's quirky
illustrations appeal to young readers, who will relish these fun and
amazing facts about the world's most exciting plants.
