Description

A distinctive opposites book with fold-out pages that builds on the spirit and success of Caldecott Honor Winner Flora and the Flamingo and the subsequent books in the series. When a new feathered friend seems so different from her, Flora discovers that opposites, in fact, attract! This adorable book featuring the darling, dancing Flora will delight young children as they master new words and concepts. These new additions to the publishing program engage with the same great themes around friendship, performance, body language, choreography, and making mistakes. They have a similar aesthetic, with thoughtful shapes, classic typefaces, and wordless content, as well as strong production values and innovative bookmaking.
