Felicity Floo fails to wipe her runny nose while visiting the zoo. Despite a posted warning ("Please Do NOT Pet the Animals"), she infects them with her sticky "green, gloppy goo" hands; the illness is thus dubbed "The Floo." The humorous cautionary tale's angular pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations feature waif-like Felicity plastering her paws all over the emus, toucans, and other creatures.
