Superfolk says
"A beautifully illustrated hardback, The Flower Festival is a joyful way for children to spot and learn about wildflowers. We love how Elsa Beskow playfully imagines the personality of each flower – from the regal rose to the rebellious thistle – dressed in petal skirts, buttercup hats and leafy shoulder pads. Some of the ideas in this book about class are dated, but the charm, imagination, and rich detail make this a truly special book that children and adults will adore."
Description
The flower fairies invite a lucky little girl to join them for their Midsummer festival. Gathering around Queen Rose, all the flowers and bumblebees and birds tell their enchanting stories, while Pea-blossom and the Dew-cups serve refreshments.
