This is a well written book about a shy flower bud and her worries. The illustrations give a great support for the narrative and pleasing to kids’ eyes. The story itself is truly 4-99 as mentioned. Reader of every age can relate to it and take home a lesson. It’s been a week I received this and it has already been read four times in the household.

Tech info: the book quality is not exactly tear-free but good for handing of a 5 year old. The font and illustrations are suitable for the age group too. UK English assurance means not worrying about explaining spelling variations for new learners. I wish more books mention this. Particularly for countries that are beyond US/UK but follow only one of them while books from both countries are sold.… (mehr)

I don’t usually read Children’s Books. I used to love them when I was a kid, and of course, those were the books on which I learned how to read. Those are the stories that I will always remember, with happiness in my heart and they will always have a special place in my heart.



I was lucky enough to win The Frightened Little Flower Bud on a giveaway from Booklikes, and I couldn’t be happier! This is a short, cute story about one flower, and the process of how it blooms.

Before it blooms, it has many fears as to what is going to happen, it fears that the sun will dry it, and the rain will drown it, and that it won’t be as beautiful as the other flowers out there.

It reminds me of the fears that us people have every day before we go out of the door. We fear this and that, without realising to enjoy our lives, and live them like they are our last. A perfect description of how fear and doubt can let us down, but also a perfect example of what happens when you actually get the courage and go out there, and realise that yes - you can be the prettiest flower out there.

I liked how there are questions at the end of the books, to engage the little readers after reading it. However, in all honesty, I believe that the images inside the books won’t keep a kid there for very long, and they might not be the most exiting this in the world.

I very much enjoyed reading this book with my young daughter and I am looking forward to reading it again with my grandchildren. It’s an excellent concept, well-written, and beautifully styled and illustrated for children. It was quite heartwarming to see the interactive component to keep the fun in the experience as well as the encouragement to have a conversation about the story with the children. I would buy a copy of the book to read again with more children, and it would be a great gift for new parents to add to baby’s first library. I highly recommend this book.… (mehr)
