My Flower-pot by Unknown

I randomly found this very short book and saw the word flower. This will probably be my shortest review:

This is a very short child's picture book of poetry about flowers with religion mixed in. The poems are mediocre as well as the pictures. I don't hate it, but I also would not recommend it.

Chinook, the Cinnamon Cub by Allen Chaffee

"Dewdrops gleamed like diamonds on every flower and fern and spider web that bordered the cascading creek."

I knew by the second sentence that I was going to enjoy this read. The author beautifully paints a picture with his words of the Oregon woods. With that setting, we are introduced to some lively bear cubs, Snookie and Chinook, and their wise Mother Brown Bear. Mother Brown Bear teaches her cubs the ropes of living in the forest. They learn all about the flora and fauna around them and have some fun too.

This is a children's book published in 1924, so there is not a lot of scary imagery making for a pleasant read. The story also doesn't have a major plot, as each chapter is a story in itself. One of the chapters about the smuggler is quite humorous, but some parents nowadays probably would not approve of it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the great outdoors because the descriptions of the setting and the animals of the forest are simply beautiful.

Almost forgot, here is a link to this wonderful children's book: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/61888
