None No current Talk conversations about this book.  Sujathanath | Dec 8, 2019 |   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. (  )1  mmargironsidemcgean | Jul 31, 2018 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I received this book from the author, provided I review the book when finished. I am having a baby girl, and this being my first child am wishing to find anything and everything I can include in her life to inspire her. I loved this book all around, the imagery is amazing, and the story is well told and an easy read for children as they are learning to read. I believe the lesson teaches young girls to not be afraid of the world and what others may think of them. Embrace who you are and carry on, and it turns out you might just love you. I loved Renee Paule's work and would feel privileged to read other works of hers. ( )1 MommyReader18 | Jul 22, 2018 | no reviews | add a review
Please note: This is a British spelling version. American spelling version ISBN is 978-0993509841. The story begins with a seed landing in a pretty garden where it starts to grow and eventually forms a little flower bud. But, the little flower bud becomes frightened of things that she 'hears on the wind'; such as the sun that might scorch its petals, the rain that might spoil them, the wind that might blow them away - so the flower doesn't want to bloom. However, all flowers must bloom, and as the little flower bud opens her petals she overcomes her fears one by one. The more we think about our fears, the more they overwhelm us. This book teaches children (of all ages) that fear is just a feeling that holds them back from living their lives to the full. To add to the fun and develop observational skills there's a 'Did You See' activity page at the back with objects from the book that children may not have noticed whilst reading it. There are also some simple questions that can be asked of children, encouraging them to think about what they've read. The skill level required is 'easy'. No library descriptions found.

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. (
