The Flower (Child's Play Library)

Product Information

The art reinforces the story, by showing the city as a dull grey place. Brigg is shown walking the other way to everyone else, or sitting apart from other children, highlighting how out-of-place he feels. His room is very plain, with few personal items. Once the flower appears, it's a point of colour and life in an otherwise dull environment. The illustrations I didn’t connect well and also don’t think children will either. The characters don’t look happy from the beginning. The colors set a mood of sadness and depression. The main character lives alone and his room doesn’t look homey at all. He lives alone and look very young for his age to be living alone.

It focuses on a personal act of revolution, rather than trying to overthrow the system. Brigg can't change how the city runs, but he can try to grow a flower. The theme of finding a point of happiness when the world seems bleak will resonate with children going through tough times. Explore 60 flowers, bloom by bloom, in stunning portraiture with lush macrophotography that showcases the details of each flower, and learn how to arrange flowers with different styles, tips, and techniques. The book uses colour symbolism in which the city's dark hues could represent a possibly polluted future where people will not be familiar with natural life. The flower portrays a symbol of hope to Brigg who has the motivation to search for something better. The language use is simple but the choices of adjectives used throughout are interesting as have a significant impact on the meaning. Motifs also appear within the pictures and add a further element of interest when looking closer into the images as a collective whole. Aquel libro contiene imágenes preciosas de flores, figuras que Brigg jamás había visto y es así como Brigg comienza la búsqueda a lo largo de la ciudad para hallar una flor, hasta que a través de una ventana de una tienda de chatarra ve un paquete con la imagen de una flor, Brigg lo adquiere para encontrar en su interior no la flor, sino semillas; las instrucciones marcan que se deben cubrir con tierra y añadir agua.The Flower Book explores 60 flowers, bloom-by-bloom in stunning portraiture. Lush macrophotography allows readers to see the details of each featured flower up close, from the amaryllis in spring, snapdragon in summer, and dahlia in fall to tropical wonders such as orchids and more.

The flower in this story I think represents freedom. The illustrations are very bland without color and all of a sudden when the flower comes into play there is color and the flower is the only thing that remains color. The main character also becomes happier when seeing the flower. So I also think the flower represent happiness. I think that children can relate and catch these themes because of the color scheme.The Flower inicia en cierta ciudad sombría, donde vive Brigg, un muchacho que trabaja en una librería. Cierto día, en una repisa alta en la bodega, encuentra algunos libros marcados con la leyenda "Do not read" (No leer) y movido por la curiosidad Brigg se lleva un ejemplar a casa. A deceptively simple and haunting story, beautifully and mysteriously illustrated, set in a bleak future metropolis. The Flower Book spotlights 30 sample floral arrangements that show how to design and build custom floral arrangements using featured blooms. Plus, a step-by-step techniques section walks beginners through the basics of foliage and fillers, bouquets, and arrangements to make this book as practical as it is beautiful. Otra imagen inquietante es al extremo de la ciudad donde sólo hay colinas de polvo que se acumulan; en el cielo se ve una esfera de luz que tomamos por la Luna pero también puede ser tomada por el Sol oculto tras una capa densa de polución.

Her directions are simple but also very clear and informative. The book is huge and well-photographed, so it’s easy to follow. Gorgeous photographs throughout spotlight 30 sample floral arrangements that show how to design and build custom floral arrangements using featured blooms. Plus, a step-by-step techniques section walks beginners through the basics of foliage and fillers, bouquets, and arrangements to make this book as practical as it is beautiful. The eerie illustrations show the state of the future environment which exposes the problems with society and the over-urbanisation of our planet. However, the book does depict a hopeful ending through the final image. This image could usefully be studied by pupils who could make inferences on how the story continues based upon the final illustration in the book. A pesar de la carga de texto requiere orientación para los lectores menores de 6 o 7 años de edad, para que a través de la organización de actividades, preguntas o juegos, puedan hallar sentido a las imágenes grises del libro que pueden no llamar la atención de ellos a primera vista. En cuanto a lectores de 7 a 99 años es un libro ideal para leer, releer y explorar en las imágenes, ideal también para regalar y darnos cuenta lo afortunados que somos de poder ver flores y verdor por doquier, tener luz solar y distinguirla felizmente de la lunar.This one had never been on my wishlist. I didn't even know it exists. I was on my way to the cashier during a book fair named Big Bad Wolf when I walked past this book and my eyes caught a glimpse of a boy who stood in front of bookshelf and covered half of his face with a book which had flower on its cover. Brigg is a child living in a grey city. He works at the library, where he finds a book he isn't supposed to read. It's filled with pictures of flowers, which he hasn't seen before. If only he could find a flower in the city.

Brigg deberá recorrer de nuevo toda la ciudad para poder recolectar un poco de polvo para sus semillas y así poder ver nacer su flor, la primera que el mundo ha visto en mucho tiempo. In my opinion this book was a little creepy. I don't really think it is an appropriate picture book for younger ages. I did not care for the illustrations because they were so dark. Brigg looked like a character from a haunted house. It looked like he had dark eyeliner on and everything about him seemed eerie. The only color in this book was basically the flower. The illustrations did not pop and I couldn't really connect with them.Estamos ante un futuro tan desolador que no sorprende el hecho de que Brigg tenga que recorrer la ciudad entera para encontrar suficiente tierra para llenar una taza.
