About This Book

Inspired by the main character of the Caldecott Honor book Flora and the Flamingo, this new series of board books is perfect for the very youngest Flora fans. When a nest of eggs begins to hatch, how will Flora ever keep up with so many chicks? Featuring fold-out pages and Molly Idle's graceful artwork, this adorable counting book will delight young children as they master new words and concepts.

Our Review

This charming counting book introduces early math concepts through the gentle story of Flora caring for newly hatched chicks. As each egg cracks open, young readers follow along with the increasing number of fluffy yellow chicks, creating a natural progression from one through ten. The graceful artwork captures Flora's expressive movements as she tries to keep up with her growing brood, while fold-out pages add an element of surprise and engagement to the number recognition activities.

What sets this board book apart is how seamlessly it blends early learning with storytelling, making number practice feel like a natural part of Flora's adventure with the baby birds. The sturdy pages and simple vocabulary make it ideal for small hands just beginning to explore books independently, while the counting theme provides valuable preschool preparation. Parents will appreciate how this counting concept book transforms basic number skills into a joyful reading experience that children will want to revisit again and again.
