Flip Flap Floodle

Never Give Up

Remember to Use Your Talents

Everyone Needs a Little Help Once in a While

“Flip is a happy little duck with a new flute. He believes that his song will keep him safe from Mr. Fox. However, Mr. Fox swallows him because he is not impressed with Flip’s song,” says author and illustrator of Flip Flap Floodle. Flip teaches three valuable lessons: Remember to use your talents, everyone needs a little help once in a while, and never give up. Marie Jones of BookIdeas.com said, “This hilarious story is complemented by the truly bright and almost abstract illustrations, done in watercolor and acrylic with computer generated touches, that really pop out at you, creating a world of animal characters children from ages 2 - 7 will revel in.” (Reviewed by Marie Jones.
