[.ca] Holly Bloom's Garden (ISBN 0972922504)

Holly Bloom's Garden Blooms!:
This is a beautiful book for children of all ages. I have three nieces ranging in age from 4 to 13 and each enjoyed it at a different level. Wonderful illustrations support a fun and inspiring story. I highly recommend this book!

Great "Read Aloud":
As a Kindergarten teacher, I appreciated the beautiful illustrations in this book. The students in my class were kept guessing throughout the book as we tried to predict how Holly would solve her problem. When we turned to the page showing Holly's paper garden, there were many "oohs" and "aahs" on the rug. Wonderful story for this age group!

Charming and Clever:
I've shared this book a dozen times with my 6-year-old son. He gets greatly discouraged when things don't bloom after he's planted seeds, so "Holly Bloom's Garden" gave him the idea of making his own flowers. The book's illustrations are warm and charming and Ashman and Parent tell a good story that should appeal to both boys and girls.

A beautiful book with a lesson to "grow" on!:
What a wonderful story about finding your own personnel way to express yourself when you can't do what everyone else can. A great story for children and adults to remind us to look at things from a different perspective. The book is filled with beautiful, colorful and detailed drawings. Gorgeous drawings of every kind of flower. Makes me want a garden like that. Great book for young and old flower lovers, gardeners and the gardening challenged!!!

A beautiful book with a great storyline for all.:
This is a wonderful story about finding ways to be q part of something even though you don't "appear" to have the talent. Holly finds a wonderful way to express her ability to "grow" flowers. The drawings in this book are absolutely beautiful and the attention to detail is amazing. Anyone who loves flowers or gardening, both young and old, will love this book! A great gift.
