[.ca] The Little Flower Girl (ISBN 0679876952)

Wedding Planners take note:
If I had been a subscriber when this book first came out I would have written a review back then. Thankfully I came across this book again which I bought for my daughter several years ago when she was picked to serve in her aunt's wedding. She made me read this to her so many times over the years that I'm sure she'll remeber the book long after she's forgotten the wedding. This is a priceless gift for any child who (a)is going to be in a wedding (b) is going to attend a wedding or (c)wants to read a good book. It is an affecting,, but not sentimental, story that touches on a child's(or even an adult's) emotions, but not in a ham-fisted or instructional way. If I were a wedding planner, I buy it and give it to the kids in the wedding who can read; it might not prompt them to better behavior, but it will keep them occupied for hours while you deal with other things. Like Lion King and Aladdin (but, for some reason, in my family not Fantasia) it has that special elxir for children that makes them like repeat performances much more than the first one. Is there a sequel? (and I don't mean the books about what to do when Mommy and Daddy divorce)If not, why not? If so, when or where will it be or was it published?

Perfect for your little flower girls!:
Upon pondering what gift to get all three of my flower girls for my recent wedding, I came upon this book. Not only was it cute and informative for my little cuties, it was also an inexpensive and totally appropriate gift for each girl. The colorful pictures and cute story line helped assure all three of my flower girls that they were going to do just fine on the 'big day'!

Great Way To Get the Flower Girls Ready for The Big Day!:
I actually gave this to my flower girls ahead of our wedding because they're very young and I wanted their moms to start preparing them with this story so they can know what to expect and be comfortable. It's a lovely book for the girls and their moms seem to really love it, too. Plus, it's so inexpensive! Definitely the best book I've seen as far as having a story kids can relate to and absolutely the lowest price.

Cute, cute, cute!:
It was really darling to "see" things from a young flower girl's point of view (eg What if I run out of flowers?) Really cute illustrations, and an overall "Weddings are great -- families are great!" message.

Charmed reader:
What an engaging story! My children (both boy and girl), loved this book, especially the accidentally funny antics of the uninterested little brother. A great book to read over and over to little ones. Highly recommended!
