About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreS–The popular French character Floup makes a U.S. appearance as Floop, and he promises to be as appealing to his new audiences. The small, indeterminate type of animal wears a full-body polka-dotted suit and has several animal friends who join him in his adventures. In Laundry, Floop accidentally falls into a tub of water and finds a creative solution to dry himself: he hangs by his overalls on the clothesline. In Dark, Floop is awakened during the night by a noise and is sure there's a monster in his room. Flowers sees him getting distracted on the way to buy a centerpiece to prepare for his friends' visit. The little creature must come to the rescue in Umbrella when his friends are caught in a rainstorm. The richly colored illustrations on minimal backgrounds, along with Floop's expressive face, add to the charm of these small books. The pleasing art, single sentence of text per page, and uncomplicated but universal plots add up to toddler books that are perfect for sharing one-on-one or in small groups.Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MN
