Average Rating: 
Rating: - A Beautiful Poem in a Beautiful Book
I have a favorite quote that I like and this goes along with what this book is about. I forgot who wrote this, but it goes like this:
"Won't you come into my garden? I would like my roses to meet you."
This book is about how nature is meeting the author and getting to know her and how the author is essentially passive and is just enjoying all that nature is giving back to her emotionally. Basically, the flower is so beautiful, that she feels that it has a personality ... Read More
Rating: - Beautiful poetry and illustrations
This is a book that both young children and their parents can enjoy. The illustrations are detailed and beautiful, accompanying the poetry perfectly. The use of language to describe the sensations and spiritual experiences is both beautiful enough to make lovely poetry, and descriptive enough to engage young (and not so young) children. This book is a wonderful addition to any children's collection.
Rating: - Morning has broken
I'm a contrary critter. At random moments, never when I can predict their appearance and never when I can guard against them, I will suddenly be beset by a case of the contraries. The very first time I laid eyes on an ad for Alice Walker's, "There Is a Flower At the Tip of My Nose Smelling Me", the contraries hit me full-force.

Rating: - Great for the imagination
My 22-month-old loves the illustrations and is intrigued by the "reverse" thinking (a flower smelling her?) What a fun, creative and enticing book for all children!
Rating: - Great Book Not Only For Grade School Kids!
I really loved the brilliant color and the way each of the reader's senses was brought out in the book. For small children the colorful pictures will be irresistible, and for school age children it is an in depth look at the way our senses enhance our everyday life.
