  • Imagination runs wild to my 3 yr old

    My daughter enjoyed reading Flora and the Peacocks so much that I decided to buy Flora and the Flamingo. Her imagination of what could possibly be said changes each time we open the book. She loves to flip the flaps. I do recommend it. Parents be prepared to read it several times ;)
