At Wrapped in Foil today, we have have the beautiful picture book by April Pulley Sayre, Bloom Boom!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As with some of her earlier books, April Pulley Sayre combines her gorgeous nature photographs with sparse, lyrical text.<\/p>\n

On the cover is a photograph of brilliantly-colored poppies, which sets the tone for what is to come inside. Every spread is filled with vibrant color, either in sprawling landscapes or detailed close ups of flowers and growing plants.<\/p>\n

With only a few words on each page, Sayre manages to introduce children to botanical terms and concepts. She also uses alliteration and repetition to keep young readers interested. Besides learning about plants, the book is also a great way for little ones to learn about color (see activity suggestion on the blog<\/a>).<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve gasped at the final spread, don\u2019t forget to check out the back matter. In \u201cThe Bloom Boom\u201d section, Sayre explains how to find areas where masses of flowers bloom all at once. In \u201cA Bit More About Blooms\u201d you can find thumbnails of each spread with accompanying details about the flowers in each.<\/p>\n

Bloom Boom!<\/em> is a visual feast, sure to enthrall young nature lovers.\u00a0Explore a copy today!<\/p>\n
