  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 11/01/2014 PreS-K—Idle's bold and balletic Flora is back in another wordless adventure, this time infused with icy blue, to skate with a penguin. The simple story is told entirely in pictures—featuring only a few colors on a white background—that are eloquent and irresistible. As in Flora and the Flamingo (Chronicle, 2013), small page flaps advance the story and establish the relationship between the two well-defined characters. There a simple conflict and a satisfying resolution, made more dramatic with a glorious gatefold. Preschoolers will enjoy narrating the action while they flip through the pages of this beautiful book.—Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
