'The short narrative explains the patience needed to grow things - a difficult concept for childen - while the glorious illustrations celebrate the natural world' Junior GROW FLOWER GROW! Fran has found a flowerpot and, with her dog Fred, is determined to make whatever is inside it grow. So she decides to give the flower all her favourite foods - spaghetti, ice-cream, pizza - and needless to say none of these work - so Fran throws the flowerpot outside in disgust. Until one day, after some sun and some rain Fran and Fred go outside to a wonderful surprise!

This richly illustrated book provides an overview of all known Dutch and Flemish artists up to the nineteenth century, who painted or drew flower pieces, or else made prints of them.

Upon finding a flower pot containing a tiny green shoot, a little girl tries to encourage the plant to grow by feeding it pizza and chocolate chip cookies, but when it still won't grow and bloom, she throws it out the door.

Fran and her dog Fred try many things to get a small bud to grow into a flower, but it isn't until Fran puts the flower outside that she gets a big surprise just for her.
