Sophie loves flowers. Robert loves bears. So neither child is surprised when told she and he are going to be the flower girl and ring bear in a soon-to-be wedding. While Sophie practices her dancing and curtsying, Robert works on his growling and crawling techniques. Unfortunately, Sophie’s idea of what a flower girl is and Robert’s idea of what a ring bear does are quite different from the ideas of their families! Parallel stories told in flip-over format, this delightful book is the perfect gift for all ring bearers and flower girls. |  |
Are you getting married? Don't forget the youngest members of the bridal party. I think that this book is the perfect gift idea for the ring bearer and flower girl, and I hope that you agree. Available in hardcover format with a dust jacket, this book is actually two stories-in-one. Hold it one way, and it is a flower girl book. Turn the book over and it is a ring bearer book. Either way, it is the perfect gift idea for any child in your wedding. You can purchase The Flower Girl, The Ring Bear: A Flip-Over Book, from any bookstore, including Amazon, but if you would like personalized copies to use as wedding gifts, please contact me today!

Reviewer's Choice, Midwest Book Review, James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief
"The Flower Girl/The Ring Bear is a great flip-over book that has vibrant appeal for both boys and girls who participate in family weddings, not to mention everyone else! Chock full of dazzling, comic illustrations and laden with 5-year-old fantasies about being a crucial figure in a large ceremonial event, The Flower Girl/The Ring Bear packs tons of fun into just a few pages. The Flower Girl/The Ring Bear would make a perfect gift for a child who is invited to participate in a wedding as flower girl or ring bearer, but it also delivers a sound message to kids everywhere about the importance of living up to your responsibilities even when they are not quite what you imagined them to be. The Flower Girl/The Ring Bear has added cultural educational value implicit in the clear message of the illustrations that this is a biracial marriage, in addition to the formal bonding of two different families with different views, cultural backgrounds, or lifestyles. In the end, both the flower girl and the ring bear decide to fulfill their promises despite some disappointments and everyone agrees they are 'the best flower girl and ring bear they had ever seen!' The Flower Girl/The Ring Bear will appeal to children ages 0-9."
Reviewer feedback from iParenting Media Award Independent Reviewers:
"We found this book extremely enjoyable and we really liked the storyline. We really liked the flip book aspect. How creative to do the flower girl's point of view and then the ring bearer's point of view. And yet they were still part of the same story! Very nice! I reviewed this book with children of different ages and everyone enjoyed it. It held their attention."
"This is one of the first books ever that I have seen that is reversible or upside down, so to speak, with two stories. It is very unique and what is best is that you can read it to both boys and girls—giving each special attention!"
"The children were fascinated that there was two stories in one book and by turning it upside down it changed stories. This book simplifies the duties of the flower girl and ring bearer helping them to understand in a fun way."
