A bee takes the reader on a flower adventure showcasing all types of flowers!

This was wordier than usual for my storytime crowd so I paperclipped pages together to just read the highlights. There is bolded text and smaller text. I stuck to mainly the large print and a couple small print pages when the text was needed to make the story understandable.

2023 storytime theme: PreK Planters Flowers

Reviewed from a library copy.

I really enjoyed learning about different kinds of plants. It was also cute that the bee took you on the tour.

Probably not great to read all the way through for story time, but would be a good supplemental nonfiction to have for bee and/or flower related story times.

Flowers Are Pretty Weird is an adorable and fun book about the strange, weird, and even sometimes gross side of flowers. It has a great sense of humour and lots of fun facts and is sure to delight anyone who already likes flowers or who hasn't figured out that they're cool yet. It's a great follow up to Butterflies Are Pretty Gross. Recommended!

I received a copy of Flowers are Pretty... Weird! by Rosemary Mosco and illustrated by Jacob Souva from Penguin Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review.

This fun and informative picture book follows a bee as it shares some pretty weird and cool facts about different flowers. The illustrations are so colourful and playful which matches the narration of this perky little bee who continues to invite readers to turn the page and read on. This picture book is such an inviting and engaging book that will entertain and educate readers at the same time.

This was great read. I finished it while eating a bag of chips. I mean I was so into it I couldn’t stop eating and flipping pages. I love flowers and I learned about so many more that I hadn’t heard of and now I wonder if I can grow a few on my patio? Or something?! I bet they’ll be interesting for the neighbors and my pups. I mean there’s stinky flowers, dragon flowers and I want to try dragon fruit too, some roses, corpse flowers the various orchids. Ha. These weirdly, cute, and smelly flowers… yes I’ll take them all, The pictures are done nicely and the story is fun too. I liked this book a lot Thanks Mr. Bee for the lesson.
