The Flower Book explores 60 flowers, bloom-by-bloom in stunning portraiture. Lush macrophotography allows readers to see the details of each featured flower up close, from the amaryllis in spring, snapdragon in summer, and dahlia in fall to tropical wonders such as orchids and more. John Light creates a dystopian society through his use of color. The bad parts of the world are done in a solitary and sad gray. The pictures are very depressing, not child friendly in my opinion. To show the good in the society, he added color to people and things. These are very bold indicators of the good and bad. The shadow around the people's eyes show the depressing tone of the story. The illustrations dramatically change as Brigg's flower grew. Este álbum tiene una cantidad mínima de texto, imágenes que cubren la página entera. La historia posee una gran sensibilidad e ilustraciones hechizantes y mágicas, misteriosas y sombrías. A separate section of the book discusses the ins and outs of tools and equipment, and the volume is rounded out with a catalogue of flowers organized into thematic types, which eases searching for the ideal flower – or alternates if the desired one is unavailable. The illustrations I didn’t connect well and also don’t think children will either. The characters don’t look happy from the beginning. The colors set a mood of sadness and depression. The main character lives alone and his room doesn’t look homey at all. He lives alone and look very young for his age to be living alone.

This one had never been on my wishlist. I didn't even know it exists. I was on my way to the cashier during a book fair named Big Bad Wolf when I walked past this book and my eyes caught a glimpse of a boy who stood in front of bookshelf and covered half of his face with a book which had flower on its cover. Sort your flower pieces. There are 3 large flowers comprised of 8 main pieces (with slightly pointer petals), and 5 center pieces (3 white, and 2 of a different color). Layer your flower pieces from largerest to smallest. Layer the center pieces together, with the colored piece in the middle, and attach it to the inside of your flower. Her directions are simple but also very clear and informative. The book is huge and well-photographed, so it’s easy to follow. In this book, Pryke explores the process of how to move from the source of inspiration to the glorious finished flower arrangement. She ties together key aspects of making a good arrangement: mixing color, form, shape, texture, and scale; being inspired by how plants and flowers combine in nature; using foliage and fruit for visual surprise; and much more. She also offers tips on how to prep flowers before arranging them (I had no idea this was even a thing…), and then she gives even more detailed instructions for creating front-facing arrangements, centerpieces, and hand-held bouquets.La historia de The Flower está ubicada en un futuro gris y hasta cierto punto agonizante; en él no se puede distinguir la noche del día, todos parecen estar tristes y cansados y no hay señales de color ni de naturaleza en ningún sitio. The Flower puede ser considerada una historia que va de ciencia ficción, el trasfondo es en principio triste y Lisa Evans ilustró de una forma excelente la obra para dar las sensaciones precisas de soledad y vacío, cuando el mundo gris empieza a mejorar, los brotes de color tienen la capacidad de dar una luz muy hermosa a las páginas. Use your cutting machine or X-ACTO knife, along with my template, to cut out all of the pop-up flower book pieces. When Brigg discovers a book in the library labelled "Do Not Read", he cannot resist taking it home. It leads him to an unexpected discovery, which brings brightness and beauty to the inhabitants of a previously dull and dismal world. There's also a suggestion of post-apocalyptic themes, with the environment changing so there aren't any plants in the city. It takes something pretty major to kill off all the weeds.

A deceptively simple and haunting story, beautifully and mysteriously illustrated, set in a bleak future metropolis.Attach the pop-up section to the interior of the book. Add your flowers, stems, and branches inside—all around the pop-up section. I toyed with the idea of it being a static papercraft, but I just knew that this was a project that deserved movement. So, I devised a way (after much trial and error) to actually make the flowers burst out of the book! In my opinion this book was a little creepy. I don't really think it is an appropriate picture book for younger ages. I did not care for the illustrations because they were so dark. Brigg looked like a character from a haunted house. It looked like he had dark eyeliner on and everything about him seemed eerie. The only color in this book was basically the flower. The illustrations did not pop and I couldn't really connect with them.
