Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle
5.0

Age: Infant-1st grade
Art: Dance
Animal: Flamingo

Awash in pink with lift-the-flap fun, Idle adds another dimension to wordless picture books. A little girl imitates a graceful flamingo as the flamingo dances around. The lift-the-flaps are expertly used not to show something hiding but to show stillness and movement. Both girl and flamingo will freeze in place, holding a pose. Lift the flap over the flamingo and it peeks over to see if the girl is moving. Lift the flap of the girl and she peeks at the flamingo. So adorable!
