    About this ebook

    Having mastered ballet in Flora and the Flamingo, Flora takes to the ice and forms an unexpected friendship with a penguin. Twirling, leaping, spinning, and gliding, on skates and flippers, the duo mirror each other's graceful dance above and below the ice. But when Flora gives the penguin the cold shoulder, the pair must figure out a way to work together for uplifting results. Artist Molly Idle creates an innovative, wordless picture book with clever flaps that reveal Flora and the penguin coming together, spiraling apart, and coming back together as only true friends do. Double tap the flaps to open and close them, swipe the corners of the book to turn from page to page, and activate the soundtrack to listen to the music while you read your new ebook!

      This is just an adorable little book.
    • 4/5
      That charming young dancer Flora, whose story began in the Caldecott Honor Book Flora and the Flamingo, returns in this skating adventure, pairing up this time with a penguin. As the two swoop over the ice in a graceful dance, the duo seem perfectly in sync. Then penguin disappears beneath the ice, returning with a little offering for the sulky Flora. At first she rejects his gift of a fish, causing hurt feelings all around, but eventually the two reconcile, and are once again a pair...Like its predecessor, Flora and the Penguin is a wordless picture-book, with flaps that can be lifted to show further motion on the page. Just as I was with Flora and the Flamingo, I was impressed here by the fact that the flaps - which I often find fairly superfluous to the story of the books in which they are included - furthered the narrative, showing the two figures of girl and penguin in their dance. Moving together, then apart, then together again, a story of friendship, misunderstanding and then reconciliation unfolds. Immensely effective, despite the absence of text, this is a book that features an endearing story, and delightful artwork. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed the first book about Flora, or who is looking for wintry picture-books featuring penguins (or ice-skating).
