Tilbury House,U.S. A Season of Flowers
Book SynopsisMichael Garland displays his impressive illustration range with the stylized, country-quilt, digital collage illustrations of A Season of Flowers.Trade Review"Apparently this book came out as a picture book a couple years ago, but I have a hard time imagining it. You know when a book is adapted into a board book and you simply can’t think of it any other way? That’s the situation we’re dealing with here. Garland simultaneously introduces you to the different seasons of the year while sneakily labeling each plant he runs across as he goes. I can tell you that after reading this, I want to run out and buy myself some lupine seeds immediately. Colorful and completely pretty, it’s just a really good look at all the weather in all the different times of the year. Glad to see it in this format at last." -- Elizabeth Bird - SLJ"Gently following the seasons, Garland introduces each flower, and an animal or insect that it attracts, in rhyming couplets... Layered, fabriclike patterns enrich vibrant illustrations of flora and fauna; in one spread, houndstooth and windowpane plaid make up the twilight sky, as a moon made of gingham and Chinese dragon–printed fabric hangs above thin iris stalks. A season-oriented introduction to blooms and their qualities." -- PW" PreS-Gr 2 –This book takes readers on a journey through the seasons exploring the blossoming of flowers. Garland pairs the short rhyming text with beautiful and eye-catching illustrations created by a digital collage technique he developed. (“Snowdrop and Crocus. We are the earliest flowers of spring. Robins devour the bugs that we bring.”) Each page shows a seasonal flower(s) in full bloom and the wildlife that’s attracted to its fragrance and color. The text could easily supplement units on seasons and plants for younger readers or serve as an early introduction to life science. Librarians and parents alike will reach for this title as spring and summer come around. Back matter contains more detailed information about each bud mentioned and a summary of the life of a flower. VERDICT A solid purchase for collections in need of a fresh option for season-themed storytimes. " -- School Library Journal Express
