Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—With the latest offerings starring the beloved Flora, Idle tackles the concepts of counting and opposites. Donning a yellow kerchief and a pair of red overalls in Chicks, Flora attempts to keep track of a bevy of chickens as they hatch and cavort around the farmyard. Readers will enjoy counting the chicks as page by page they increase in number. Flora displays moves that would earn the admiration of any ballerina, performing jetés and pliés as she corrals the wayward chicks. In Ostrich, Flora befriends the long-necked bird. Wearing a purple, lace-trimmed romper and holding a yellow umbrella, the little girl is the perfect visual match for the feathered animal, but the shy ostrich is initially skeptical. As Flora tries to say "hello," the ostrich buries its head in the sand ("goodbye"). After a misunderstanding, Flora kneels in the foreground looking somber ("near") while in the background the ostrich nervously gazes at her ("far"), but eventually the two forge a strong bond. Gentle pastel hues pop against the white space, and the author/illustrator makes artful use of the gutter. Idle's characters, girl and birds alike, are wonderfully expressive, and the images have a timeless quality. Though the foldout pages may not survive numerous checkouts, they're enchanting, offering readers many delightful surprises. VERDICT Must-haves for any board book collection.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal

Very cute. Picture book. While watching Flora count eggs and then chicks, this books allows you and your little one to create your own story-- proven more effective in early childhood education than reading words. I bought it for my niece. I can't wait for my nieces and friends' children to get a little older for the other books in the Flora series that aren't board books.

The book has beautiful illustrations and fun flaps to open. My toddler loves pointing out what the chicks are up to on the different pages. We've bought it for friends as well because we like it so much.

Un ottimo libro per imparare a contare e ad associare la quantità al numero. Nel libro NON C'E' TESTO ma i disegni sono molto chiari ed autoesplicativi.

En referencia al libro mas o menos sabia como es ya que vi un vídeo por las redes ,un numero abre como una solapa en el lado izquierdo y en el derecho de la pagina y el siguiente numero con paginas normales y así hasta el numero 10 alternando,con respecto al estado del libro ademas de llegar sucio las tapas la anterior no viene nueva ,en el interior algunas paginas tiene unos brillos raros.Menos mal que no fue muy caro ,deberían venir con el plastificado de nuevos.Desde luego no presta regalar algo en este estado.He vuelto a comprarlo de nuevo y este cuando lo regale estará en mejores condiciones ,lo limpie pues sus pastas venían sucias y lo he pillado mas económico que el anterior que regale.Esta muy bien .Al tener que desplegar ,abrir,desarrollan la psicomotricidad de las manos.
