"As education director for the nation's largest bug club I am always on the lookout for books to satisfy a young bug enthusiast's thirst for knowledge. On One Flower is a perfect blend of scientific information and rhyming text — bug science that's fun to read! And the field notes are a treasure trove. The plant-and-animal community-based perspective of Dr. Fredericks' book opens a window to the world of plants and their minibeast companions in a way that will make young people want to go out exploring on their own". — Gary Dunn, Director of Education, Young Entomologists' Society Minibeast Zooseum
