Ages 3–6 (Preschool to Kindergarten/early 1st grade) (1999) The vibrant, textured illustrations and rhythmic text draw children in visually and auditorily

picture book-In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming (1999)-Fleming creates her artwork by mixing paper pulp with colored pigments, then layering it to form images. This gives the illustrations a textured, tactile quality. She uses simple and clear shapes.

This picture book published in 1991 has a bold use of color, soft textures and simple shapes inviting young readers into a vibrant insect world. This pairs rhythmic text with rich visuals to spark curiosity and delight in natures small wonders.

In the Tall, Tall Grass can be used in preschool and early elementary classrooms to explore nature, insects, and observation skills. You can read aloud while pointing out details in the illustrations, have students identify insects and plants, and create related art or science activities.

I think this is an awesome picture book for lower elementary students. I think children would love the bright, abstract drawings and bright colors.

Picturebooks (1991) In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming features bright, bold illustrations that capture the lively world of insects and nature. The rich, textured colors and playful shapes make the tiny creatures and tall grass come alive, drawing young readers into the movement and rhythm of the natural environment. Each page invites curiosity and exploration through visual storytelling.
