Liven up your spring with these beautiful books about flowers!

Books about flowers for kids

As part of our Spring Theme Pack, we put together a spring book list, a gardening book list, and a seeds and plants list.  Here’s our final list – books about flowers.  Enjoy these lovely books any time of the year!

Flowers Are Calling, by Rita Gray

We really enjoyed this rhyming book about flowers and the animals who pollinate them.  On each page  the flowers are calling… but for whom?  “Flowers are calling a little black bear.  No, not a bear! He doesn’t care.  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.

Flower Garden, by Eve Bunting

This is such a lovely story and my personal favorite from this list.   It’s about a man and his daughter who plant a windowbox of flowers as a surprise for the mother’s birthday.

Sidewalk Flowers, by Jonarno Lawson

My Three didn’t enjoy this wordless picture book, but it’s truly fabulous and will give you a lot to talk about.  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.  Finally, she brightens the lives of those she meets by leaving the flowers behind.

This is the Sunflower, by Lola Schaefer

I’ve always found “This is the House that Jack Built” to be a tedious rhyme. But even though this book follows the pattern of that rhyme as it tells about a sunflower’s life, we enjoyed it.  It’s nothing spectactular, but a nice book.

Sunflower House, by Eve Bunting

This a wonderful book that my Four requested often.  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.

The Flower Alphabet Book, by Jerry Pallotta

I could never get my Four to listen to this A-Z book about flowers, which was a bummer because I think he would have liked it.  The book packs a lot of information, but it’s told in a conversational way with a lot of interesting little details. Give it a try!

flowers10

Wanda’s Roses, by Pat Brisson

This is a tender story of a little girl who finds a thornbush growing in an empty lot. She’s sure it’s a rosebush and tends it carefully.  As it turns out, the bush never blooms – but Wanda brings the community together as they transform the vacant lot. Recommended!

Counting Wildflowers, by Bruce McMillan

This is a simple counting book that young preschoolers will enjoy.  We liked learning the names of the wildflowers on each page.

flowers5

It Could Still Be a Flower, by Allan Fowler
 
If you’re looking for a great nonfiction book about flowers for young listeners, this is it.  It has bright photographs and just the right amount of text.
flowers9
To Be Like the Sun, by Susan Marie Swanson
 
This book is a poem about the growth of a sunflower. The concept is wonderful, and the illustrations are lovely, but something about it didn’t keep our interest.  You should give it a try, though.  It may just be that we were tired of reading about plants. 😉
 

zinnia

Zinnia’s Flower Garden, by Monica Wellington

This is a simple book about growing a flower garden – planting and caring for it, sharing the flowers, and planning for next year.  My Four enjoyed the illustrations, which are a mixture of drawings and photographs.
