BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Three sisters make believe they are the survivors of a plane crash and are stranded on an island. The youngest of them often gets her ideas shut down because the others don't believe they could happen - like a butterfly airplane passenger or flowers that talk. But soon, her sisters realize that those ideas are the most fun.
Written in graphic format, this level 2 reader has great illustrations that say much more than the text does. Each sister has her own personality. The first time I read Wildflowers, I didn't realize that the girls were playing. I thought it was the strangest world with no context and wasn't sure how to write a review for it. Today, after reading it again, I saw the premise right away and found it delightful. The main characters are illustrated as white children (their mother is illustrated as a toy airplane).
