Children's Book Nook - Felicity Floo Visits the Zoo

Why are the hyenas crying boo-hoo? And what gave the rhino a sickly green hue? It starts when Felicity Floo wipes her red, runny nose and transfers the goo. . . . Follow a sniffly girl on a hands-on trip to the zoo, and you’ll find one miserable menagerie -- and a comical ode to the virtue of tissues in Felicity Flu Visits the Zoo (Candlewick Press, 32p, ages 4-8, isbn-0763634441).

Kids will be happily grossed out to follow the icky trail as she pets one hapless, bleary-eyed creature after another. With whimsical, stylized illustrations showing Felicity’s handprints on every spread, this cautionary tale will have readers roaring out loud -- and racing off to wash their hands!



With charming and funny illustrations and a hilarious tale of woe, this book helps teach children about the Flu, its consequences and how to deal with it. And from personal experience I can tell you that while the gross factor might feel "icky" to parents, kids will just love it! My toddler couldn't stop giggling, even though I felt like wiping my hands with the turn of every page. And somehow the grossness of it, made the message stick - go, figure! He's now lecturing me at every turn to wash my hands. Ah, well...

Needless to say, I recommend it highly this Flu season!
