In Planting a Rainbow, Lois Ehlert describes how to plant a colorful garden. She starts with fall bulbs, winter seeds and spring planting. Then the plants grow and Ehlert explains color by color the plants that are best. The text is large and there are not many words, making it a great book for pointing out words. Although the text is necessary to hold the book together, the highlights of this book are the illustrations. Elhert’s collage illustrations are beautiful. They are so bright, colorful, and cheerful. The flowers seem to pop right off the page. There is little variation in the shades of color, creating a bold and exciting look. Planting a Rainbow is a wonderful book for parents to read with their preschoolers. This book is highly recommended for the children’s section of public libraries.
Rating: 4My son chose this book to read from the stack we brought home from the library because "Mommy likes flowers." We love Ehlert's gardening books - flowers, vegetables, and butterflies! The simple joy of watching the seasons pass as you plant or prepare to plant make a nicely flowing story. My son didn't think the flowers looked real enough.
Rating: 4I loved reading this book like how, a little girl and her mom, plant the seeds in their garden, its so much colorful, The little girl sees the colors of the followers and think that its a rainbow.
Rating: 3An unnamed narrator and her/his mother plant a garden each year, encompassing every color of the rainbow as they do so.This book is very basic, with a simple straightforward storyline and pretty but fairly plain illustrations of flowers in every color of the rainbow. A fun extra is the graduated length of pages in the middle of the book each with a different color along the edge, so that a whole rainbow is visible at once. Despite its simplicity (or perhaps because of it), this book makes for a nice, gentle read with a loved child, serving as a perfect naptime or bedtime selection.
Rating: 4Entire rainbows can be grown in gardens. This book is best used to teach young children about the colors of the rainbow, but older children might benefit from some of the more uncommon flower names found in it.
Rating: 4Planting a Rainbow, is about a mom and her child bonding over gardening. They plant the rainbow every year, and reap the benefits all year long. I loved the theme of the parental bonding, however the sentences were split up over the pages and all the flowers were labeled which seems like it would make it harder for a little one to read. Overall it was adorable, and if you're reading aloud, it shouldn't be a problem!

Rating: 3I love the colors and layout of this book! It is so appealing!
Rating: 5a mother and child plant a rainbow of flowers in the family garden.
Rating: 5This book is a great teaching aid. It is a realistic fiction. This book shows all of the colors of the rainbows. As a stand alone, this book is quite bland, and very boring, but partnered with a lesson, or an art project, it could be a great way for kids to learn about the colors of the rainbow!
Rating: 3A mother and child plant a garden every year. They plant all kinds of flowers of different colors. The garden looks like a rainbow. In the summer they pick the flowers and when winter kills all the flowers they know they have next year to look forward to. They get to make there garden again and make a new rainbow. I like the pictures and how they showed the name of all the flowers. I would read this to a kindergarten or 1st grade class. It would make a great book for a picture walk.
Rating: 4With beautiful illustrations, Ehlert creates a process onf the growth of a flower over time.
Rating: 4This book is good for beginners in the spectrum of color. The book uses a variety of plants to illuminate the colors of the rainbow. The only unmentioned color in the traditional ROYGBIV is indigo, but everything else is there.

Rating: 3This colorfully illustrated book explores the process of planting flowers in many colors. Perfect for accompanying any spring/season lesson to learn colors and build early reading skills.
Rating: 5Enjoyed the colorful illustrations! This book would be helpful for children learning the names of flowers and other plants.
Rating: 3A perfect book to use during the springtime to talk about flowers and gardening. It could be used as an introduction to planting a class garden.
Rating: 4Great picture book with minimal words. The colors of the flowers do most of the work. I think it's a great tool to teach about or check to see if the students know all their colors. The materials used to make the illustrations are listed in the back. It would be a great activity to see if the students can find the items in the pictures.
Rating: 5Perfect for exploring colors, shapes, and a good book to grow into with advanced plant words like “rhizome” or “Delphinium”.
Rating: 5This book has a nice concept and completements our garden activities well. However, the most of the flowers don't look very realistic.
