Book Review / Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle

Molly Idle has definitely become one of my favorite new author/illustrators.  Flora and the Flamingo is a beautifully creative wordless book perfect for young ballet fans.  This isn't your average pink & girly ballet book, making it a stand-out choice for young readers.

The entire story is told visually through Idle's expressive illustrations of Flora and her flamingo - at first shy and unsure, but becoming friendly and bold despite a few mixed up dance steps.  The perfect combination of silliness and charm, this picture book will have kids eagerly turning the pages (and flaps) to find out what happens next.  Flora and the Flamingo is a must-have addition for libraries & aspiring ballerinas!
