Actividades de Preescolar Book

This was an interesting alphabet book that focuses on flowers. And although Jerry Pallotta is known for normally mixing up the common with a bit more of the uncommon I found that this wasn't the case with this particular book. A lot of the flowers were mentioned are rather the normal-run-of-the-mill found in any garden while also simply identifiable - roses, tulips, daffodils, violets, pansies, marigolds, etc.

At the same time something else I have observed with these books is that the plants and animals that are included on the cover are normally not included within the book such as the bleeding hearts. What a disappointment! Otherwise the collection of illustrations are beautiful and well thought out even if the pages seem to be a bit clutter.

For those who like to learn more there is an index in the back that allows the reader to learn more about what a plant was thought to be able to do, the stories behinds its name, the importance of certain flowers and so much more. Definitely a quick, fast and informative read as are most of the other Pallotta alphabet books.

For those who love gardening and/or flowers I would definitely recommend this book for at least a once read-over but especially more so if you have little ones with whom you would like to introduce to the world of flowers. And as a last suggestion this is one book that I would recommend taking some time out of your busy day, finding a nice warm garden bench and maybe even reading to your plants (they say talking to them is healthy for them) for a truly 3D experience.
