Wow! This wasn't what I was expecting at all! You can see from these photos how this book is constructed.This is a sweet, endearing book. Just 3 main "actors" and a simple story, told just in pictures. How can Flora manage a dance with these two?A delightful book. Artistic, Beautiful, Inspiring, well-crafted. Nicely done.Advance copy for impartial review.
Flora and the Peacocks is simply one of the most gorgeous books I've ever seen. There are no words. The story is told in a series of exquisite illustrations. It also has interactive parts as the flaps help to tell the story.Although my daughter much prefers books with words, she was rapt as we turned the pages. She was lost in the vibrant colors and highly amused as the two peacocks vied for Flora's attention.And the ending of our story made her smile.Perfect for quiet times, pre-readers, and even your older readers who have an appreciation for dance, beauty, and quiet humor.*ARC Provided by Publisher
This is a stunning book with no words. I purchased it for my granddaughter, and I don't think she quite got it the way I did. Perhaps a little too young (4). The pictures and layout were just wonderful and I loved it.I will try to look, at it again with her on next visit. I admit that I explained each picture and it's nuances to her, but you hope they will understand that on their own.
A beautiful book! This story does not contain words, just gorgeous illustrations, allowing readers to imagine the story for themselves. I think picture books are wonderful because it encourages young minds to interpret the story from their own imaginations and a creative mind can change the story with each new read. I love all of the Flora books and so will every other little girl.
At times wordless picture books can be some of the most enchanting, appealing books to the young child. Of course when I think of wordless books Jerry Pinkneyâs The Lion and the Mouse immediately comes to mind. Little Flora dances her way through this book imitating the dance of her two friends, the peacocks. There is a story in this book, but each person who reads the book can tell their own story. Whatever one chooses to express, this will certainly be a fun, joyous experience.Flora shyly peeks out from behind her fan only to spot not one, but two glorious fans. Wait ... those colorful fans are not fans, but rather two peacocks spreading their feathers! Flora and the two peacocks eye each other closely with a bit of suspicion. Flora quickly curtseys to the pair, but hmmmmm, will they want to be her friend? The trio begin their imitative dance. Down behind her back goes Floraâs fan, then up.The peacocks watch closely and then fan their feathers up, up, up! All goes well with the dance between the three friends, but all of a sudden one of the peacocks reaches over to take Floraâs fan. A tug of war has begun and the fan is torn in two. Flora dropped the pieces of fan on the ground and the two peacocks looked down at the pieces. She quickly danced away and curled up in a ball to cry. Could the three of them ever be friends after this disastrous move?This is a charming, wordless tale that will delight children of all ages. The tale is a wordless one, one âtoldâ in a magnificent manner. There are flaps as well as a stunning popup, that makes this book a surefire collectible. I danced through the book right along with little Flora, marveling at every turn of the pages . The grand finale of the dance between friends is wordlessly expressed via the popup. Molly Idleâs artwork is stunning and is definitely (once again) Caldecott worthy. Flora and the Flamingo was a Caldecott Honor Book.FLORA BOOKS:Flora and the FlamingoFlora and the PenguinFlora and the PeacocksFLORA GAME:Flora and Friends Matching GameThis book courtesy of the publisher.
