The Great Pollination Investigation: And How We Get Food From Flowers

About this book

Why are flowers so bright and beautiful? Why do insects buzz around them? Is it true that flowers help make food, thanks to pollination? Let’s investigate! 

Join in by lifting the flaps and discovering all about the parts of flowers, and about the insects they rely on. From flowers that turn into fruit, to the plants that animals eat to produce milk and eggs for us, there is a lot to discover about the links between flowers and food.  

This stunningly illustrated book is a joy to explore. Each flap and pop-up is beautiful and informative, which is no mean feat! 

The incredibly talented Deborah Hocking has produced the book in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, which gives the botanical information real credibility. It is packed with facts, and even has a tomato seed experiment at the back. 

As it contains some scientific language, like ‘ovules’ and ‘stigma’, this picture book isn’t for pre-schoolers, but for children who like their fact books beautifully designed. Gorgeous.
