PS
Flora's third wordless picture book is, appropriately, about a three-way friendship and the tricky dynamics thereof. This book's rhythm is like Flora and the Flamingo and Flora and the Penguin, but the addition of that third character adds a storytelling layer. Idle again sticks to a limited color palette, here peacock blues, greens, and yellows; the last, glorious flap is a showstopper.
