Reviews

That's My Flower has been enjoyed in Reception and Year 1 and 2, and it is an especially a lovely story to read at this time of year, linking closely to spring time and what happens then. Lots of learning about changes and seasons has been going on in classes and this book definitely helped consolidate and extend the learning. The children were able to relate the book to their own knowledge and asked lots of questions too, which helped to further develop their understand about spring. Beautiful pictures and a lovely story, which also made the children laugh out loud in places.
