Fun to read. A Customer This is a fun book to read if you like symbolism, and even if you don't, it's fun to read the poems in the back. In this, almost every flower, clover and herb has a meaning and just about any flower you can you'll find in here. The illustrations are sweet, and this is a great reference if you're looking for something sentimental to give a friend.. Bran Englander said Worst Book Ever. This is a review of the paperback version.The book presented in the LOOK INSIDE! preview of the book, IS NOT THE SAME EDITION AS THE ONE YOU WILL GET IF YOU BUY THIS TRASH.There are no pictures. Instead of a picture, you get a line of text that says "Image of flower", or "Image not available".There is no formatting to the text, not so much as an indentation.It's criminal.If Amazon knew how bad this version of her. A beautiful story. Who knew that flowers had a language A beautiful story. Who knew that flowers had a language! I fell in love with the characters in this story and really didn't want the story to end.
