It’s about a boy who plants sunflower seeds in a circle so that he can have a sunflower house to play in all summer long.Born 1947, in Boston, MA son of Frank H., Jr., and Virginia M.W.

This a wonderful book that my Four requested often. It’s nothing spectactular, but a nice book. But even though this book follows the pattern of that rhyme as it tells about a sunflower’s life, we enjoyed it. I’ve always found “This is the House that Jack Built” to be a tedious rhyme. Finally, she brightens the lives of those she meets by leaving the flowers behind. A dad on a cell phone takes a walk with his very observant little girl, who picks the flowers she finds growing in odd places all around the city. My Three didn’t enjoy this wordless picture book, but it’s truly fabulous and will give you a lot to talk about.

It’s about a man and his daughter who plant a windowbox of flowers as a surprise for the mother’s birthday. This is such a lovely story and my personal favorite from this list. They’re calling a butterfly to dip from the air.” We skipped over the pages with detailed information about each flower, but your child might enjoy them. On each page the flowers are calling… but for whom? “Flowers are calling a little black bear. We really enjoyed this rhyming book about flowers and the animals who pollinate them.
