Flora and the Peacocks by Molly Idle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Positively delightful. A wordless pop-up picture book that will put a smile on the reader's face child or adult. Flora and her fan dance with peacocks until something goes awry and her fan breaks. The ending will delight as the peacocks try to save the day and dry Flora's tears. Fantastic! See also Flora and the Flamingo & Flora and the Penguin.
