Ten flowers watch
fairies fly around and decide they would like the chance to fly as well. The fairies grant the flowers wings, so they
are able to fly for the night. When the
morning comes, the flowers turned butterflies are exhausted and just want to be
flowers again. The fairies explain that
sometimes we want to be what we are not, but in the end being ourselves is
always best.
The illustrations in this
book are adorable and bright. The story
is even cute with a good moral. I felt
like this book was trying too hard to be a counting book with different math
equations and if a book is going to be a counting book then it should be
consistent; whereas, this book started assuming that the reader was going to
understand the breakdown of counting the flowers to butterflies on their own, making it choppy in the middle.
