Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Wildflower ABC

Diana Pomeroy · 1997
86/100
👍 Worth It

Diana Pomeroy's potato-print wildflowers are the rare thing in children's publishing — a technique so unusual and so beautifully executed that the book doubles as actual art. Kirkus said 'not to be missed,' the San Francisco Chronicle called each page framable, and nearly three decades in library collections have proved both right. Young botanists, nature lovers, and art-curious kids all have a reason to love this one.
