Fran's Flower

'The short narrative explains the patience needed to grow things - a difficult concept for childen - while the glorious illustrations celebrate the natural world' Junior GROW FLOWER GROW! Fran has found a flowerpot and, with her dog Fred, is determined to make whatever is inside it grow. So she decides to give the flower all her favourite foods - spaghetti, ice-cream, pizza - and needless to say none of these work - so Fran throws the flowerpot outside in disgust. Until one day, after some sun and some rain Fran and Fred go outside to a wonderful surprise!
