The animals in the zoo are all sick! How did it happen? In a delightfully gross picture book, Felicity Floo Visits the Zoo by E.S. Redmond, a young lady named Felicity goes to the zoo. But her sniffly, snuffly cold goes with her. As she meets the various critters in the park, she leaves behind a trail of goo on each of the animals, all because she doesn’t have a tissue.
This rhyming book cautions children to practice good germ control while enchanting them with rhymes. Amazingly, every rhyme in the book rhymes with “goo,” yet the rhymes never feel forced. Each fits naturally into the flow of the story. The unique illustrations feature ink and watercolor mediums in muted tones. The vibe of “sick” appropriately permeates the illustrations.
Felicity Floo is good clean fun, especially in cold and flu season.
