There are twenty or so flower fairies. Each fairy is assigned to a specific flower with a specific job. The book gives a short poem of each fairy and flower. There is also a brief background of each flower.

I liked the fairies in the book. A reader might pay more attention to a flower in hopes of seeing a fairy flower. The fairy flowers give readers the insight that fairy flowers care for the flowers as we should too.

I would have the children draw/paint their favorite flower. I would also ask them to pick any flowers that evening and bring them to class tomorrow to put in a big vase.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0723237549, Hardcover)

Cicely Mary Barker's original Flower Fairies books, first published in the 1920s, have been known and loved by generations. Like the pre-Raphaelite painters whom she so admired, Barker believed in re-creating the beauty of nature in art and drawing from life. Her Flower Fairies watercolors have a unique combination of naturalism and fantasy that no imitators have matched.

Each of Barker's four seasonal books features poems and full-color illustrations of at least 19 flowers that bloom during a particular season.
