Title: Flora and the Penguin
Author/Illustrator: Molly Idle
Publisher: Margaret Ferguson Books
Ages: 4-8
Synopsis:
Twirling, leaping, and gliding on skates and flippers, Flora and Penguin mirror each other in an exuberant ice dance. But when Flora gives the penguin the cold shoulder, the pair must figure out a way to work together for uplifting results.
Why you should read it:
When a writer/illustrator decides to create a wordless picture book, the “story” behind the artwork must be strong enough to convey all the feelings the actual words would have done. Author/illustrator Molly Idle has done just that. Young readers will delight in being able to “read” this picture book as they interpret the clever illustrations in above and below ice story.

Blurb:
Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.

I think Flora and the Penguin is wonderful, just like Flora and the Flamingo. A well-done wordless picture book is a treasure because anyone can "read" them!
