Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle
A bathing beauty named Flora dances with a flamingo in this innovative wordless book. She begins nonchalantly copying the moves of her long legged friend, but the bird does not appreciate the admiration and imitation of his moves. The partners do sort out the problem and dance elegantly together. The lift flaps are fun for little fingers, and the story is sure to make a splash with your yogis! Several pages are yoga moves—balances and folds—you can incorporate in the practice. Partner poses will be fun to celebrate the cooperation and synchronicity of the dance. The illustrations are lovely, and you can follow up with Flora in the sequel, Flora and the Penguin. Friendship IS a dance. This book captures the ups and downs of relationship with grace and beauty.
