When Lulu reads Mary, Mary Quite Contrary in a book of garden poems, she wants to grow some flowers herself. Being Lulu, she has to do some research first. She gets gardening books, chooses the best flowers to grow, buys seeds and plants them. Then she has to wait...

While she is waiting she makes a flower book, collects silver bells, beads and shells to decorate the garden like the rhyme and even makes a 'Mary Mary' doll! When her flowers have grown, she bakes some cupcakes and invites her friends to see it. Whew!

Industry Reviews
The Guardian - Family Book Reviews Reviewed by Katherine & Magnus (aged 3) Lulu loves Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary and decides to grow her own flowers next to her mummy's vegetables. This lovely story describes how Lulu gets books out from the library to find out more about flowers, plants them and waits for them to grow. It's a great inclusive book that shows children doing the everyday things they find wonder in and young readers can really relate to what's happening. We also loved that Lulu uses her library to find out more about flowers. Highly recommended for all little gardeners! Children's Books Ireland - reviews The Lulu books always contain references to stories, and Lulu Loves Flowers is no exception. Little Lulu, inspired by the nursery rhyme 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary', goes to the library and chooses a book to tell her how to plant and grow flowers. After buying and planting the seeds she busies herself making decorations to add to her garden. The story has a surprise ending with a new story/poem about Mary, Mary. The picture book is beautifully topped and tailed by rhyme. Early Years Educator Magazine This is a lovely story of learning, sharing, enjoying creation friendship and fun. It is a perfect resource to subtly encourage positive messages around cultural diversity too... one of those resources to have within your continuous provision to support children's positive attitudes around difference.
