- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gorgeous wordless picture book. Absolutely beautiful.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5wordless and wonderful
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is just an adorable little book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5That 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).
