"Flowers, Shown to the Children" by C. E. Smith is a beautifully illustrated children's guide to flowers, likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a resource for young readers to learn about various flowers found in nature, featuring colorful plates and descriptions that make the content accessible and engaging for children. The aim is to help children identify and appreciate the beauty of flowers they encounter during their outdoor explorations. At the start of the book, the author addresses young readers directly, explaining the purpose of this flower guide in a friendly and inviting manner. Smith differentiates this resource from others by emphasizing its user-friendly format, with flowers grouped by color, making them easier to find. The opening also introduces four key botanical terms essential for understanding flowers (calyx, sepals, petals, and stamens) in simple language, inviting children to observe and learn about the natural world around them through practical examples of well-known flowers like the Lesser Celandine and Bulbous Buttercup.
