Customer Reviews

Not a great book
I purchased this book for my 4 year old niece for upcoming wedding and the 10 Cool things about being a ring bearer for my fiance's 8 year old nephew and was disappointed with both books. The text is virtually identical in both books (which wouldn't be a problem since they are going to two different homes) but the text isn't very compelling and is much too specific. I heard multiple comments of "we aren't doing that," "you're my aunt, not my sister" etc. She enjoyed another book I also bought which told the STORY of a young flower girl -- and she could relate to "she's just like me" instead of the confusing first person narration of this book. It DOES make a difference to a child if the narration is first or third person since they often view characters in stories as friends.

The best flower girl book out there
Ms. Paine brings a warm, embracing tone coupled with an education on the "responsibilities" of being a flower girl that would have any little girl excited for her big role in this capacity. The illustrations are beautiful and it is an easy read. I am an event producer and can't keep enough of these in stock for my brides. They are very well received and loved and I even have friends of the bride calling wanting to know where to find these books. Well worth buying!

OK by itself...
...but don't buy this book AND 10 Cool Things about Being a Ring Bearer. It is the exact same book, same wording, etc., with only a few gender changes here and there. That wouldn't have been a problem except that my ring bearer and flower girl are siblings in the same household. Now I feel silly giving them identical books.

As for this book on its own merits, there is no story to it. I thought it only "sort of" explained the flower girl's role and didn't really make it sound fun.
