If you’ve got a curious little one who loves to ask questions about the world around them then you’re about to discover your new favorite picture book series! Rachel Ignotofsky has already a released a ton of amazing, inspiring non-fiction books and now she’s tackling the natural world beginning with What’s Inside A Flower.

I cannot overstate how much I loved this book. It’s is absolutely amazing. The pictures are stunning and each page seems better than the next. Ingotofsky mixes so many facts and so much information into even some of the most innocuous of places. Flowers on pages in various illustrations are joined with their names. Animals, organisms, and the like are identified. And a little bee friend accompanies readers through much of the book.

The diagrams are thorough but also accessible to young readers. Parts of flowers and processes are explained simply but honestly in a way kids can understand. Many pages also have extra information outside of the main prose that you can choose to share as you read (or explore as they grow older and re-read). Each page is just teaming with facts and information.

This really is the perfect non-fiction picture book. Fun to read with illustrations young readers (and adults) alike will love to pour over, What’s Inside A Flower is a wonderful exploration of flowers and the natural world. We can’t wait to see what topics Ingotofsky tackles next!
