Mrs. Peanuckle's Flower Alphabet

April 15, 2018
Preschool-G The latest in the pseudonymous Mrs. Peanuckle's Alphabet Library series is an abecedary of more than 26 magnificent flowers. Commencing with asters and closing with zinnias, this garden tour devotes a page to each letter of the alphabet, a fave flower, and a fast fact. Some descriptions are more informative than others; H, for example, simply offers, Flowers that start with H make Mrs. Peanuckle happy! while O specifies that there are 28,000 kinds of orchids. Still, the chipper tone, eye-catching layout?no page is the same color!?and Ford's fanciful digital media and colored pencil crayon illustrations are sure to cultivate green thumbs in many flower-fixated little ones.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
