This is one of those books that straddles the line between picture book and non-fiction. It's more conversational than we typically see in straight non-fiction. The bee narrator starts with the standard idea of a flower and then gives us examples of flowers that don't fit into that standard. Flowers that grow or appear in ways and places that we wouldn't expect. We start with small variations and are introduced to gradually more extreme versions of weirdness. There isn't a lot of information about each flower though there is a basic exploration of how each variation works to the flower's advantage. Interesting and accessible for even young readers.
