在這本書中作者用一種詩的方式將蒲公英比擬成「草地上的星星」,也描寫出蒲公英如何生生不息的在草地上一直生存著。相當美的一本書。適合5歲以上兒童閱讀。 This cheerful book is a nice combination of rhyme and information. "The flowers begin to change one summer day. Their bright yellow petals fold up and fall away." As the dandelion's cycle is described, bright and pleasing acrylic illustrations extend the text, including insects that are attracted to this multitudinous flower. The bold black print dances through the pages, with an occasional word in another color for emphasis. The book concludes with a page of additional facts and a recipe for dandelion salad. Posada includes just enough botanical detail for beginning dandelion pickers, and her approach and tone are more respectful of children than Kathleen Kudlinski's Dandelions (Lerner, 1999), which is for a slightly older audience and is sometimes condescending.-Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
