Flora and the Ostrich: An Opposites Book

By Molly Idle

From a Caldecott Honor–winner—Learn about opposites and dance along as Flora attempts to befriend a shy ostrich.

Inspired by Caldecott Honor book Flora and the Flamingo, this e-book is perfect for the very youngest Flora fans. When a new feathered friend seems so different from her, Flora discovers that opposites, in fact, attract!

Featuring Molly Idle’s graceful artwork, this adorable e-book of opposites will delight young children as they master new words and concepts. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.
