Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—Vibrant, full-page photographs introduce young audiences to the beauty of an array of different flowers. The simple text begins with sprouting seeds and proceeds to show the growth of buds, stems, shoots, and blossoms. Along with the many plants, a variety of small animals are also included. From woodlands to deserts to meadows to forests, each flowering landscape is presented in total glory. The large format allows the images to shine and is perfect for group and lap reading. The repetition of "Bloom Boom" throughout also makes this ideal for read-alouds. Although neither the specific flowers nor their locations are identified within the main narrative, an appendix gives a more thorough explanation of the featured flora and provides some additional information which may be shared with young listeners. VERDICT A lovely, useful work to help acquaint children with the natural world, and an enriching selection for storytime.—Eva Elisabeth VonAncken, formerly at Trinity-Pawling School, NY

Review

A celebration of flowers in poetry and photographic imagery. Sayre's latest feast for the eye and ear focuses on blooming plants, showing their emergence, their growth, their beauty, and their profusion in certain places and times, especially spring....The rhyme and rhythm of the text invite reading aloud; the pictures show well even across a room. This easy-to-grasp botany lesson is supplemented with backmatter offering older readers more information about the bloom boom and about each photograph. A charming introduction to flowering plants, this is an obvious addition to a nature-themed storytime that can also can be read alone by budding readers.
-- Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review ― 10/15/18

Award-winning author and photo-illustrator Sayre here reveals the diversity and splendor of flowering plants....This title works onmultiple levels. The minimalist text, intriguing photos, and predictable refrain make this a perfect choice for preschool story hours. Likewise, the use of proper botanical terms...and generous appendixes...are ideal for primary science lessons. This bloom's a beauty.

I use this book constantly in the spring and summer with my elderly clients. We pass the book around and they read the simple words and marvel at the gorgeous photographs. For people who can’t get outside easily or just want to remember beauty in nature, this is the perfect book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful combination of words and photographs.
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2019
I always enjoy getting my hands on another April Pulley Sayre book because I know that it will be lovely. And this book lives up to that expectation. With only a few words per page, Sayre's poetry beautifully complements the large photographs. In this book, the topic is wildflowers and springtime and the beauty of a field of wildflowers. The catchiness of the title and repeated refrain adds to the joyful feel of the book. And at the back of the book there is additional information for those like me who want to know the names and locations of the different flowers. A book that highlights one of wonders of the natural world in a powerful way.
