Book Synopsis
Can Flo follow Daddy Duck on their outing, or will she get distracted? A lively read-aloud and visual treat from author-illustrator Jarvis. When Flo and her daddy go to visit a relative's new nest, Daddy Duck says Flo must follow him or she'll get lost. Together, they sing a song with all the directions for the journey -- up, down, in, and out. But Flo starts to make up her own words, and soon she gets so carried away that she wanders off. Oh, no -- now a fox is following Flo! Where is Daddy Duck? What are the words to his song again? Jarvis's cheerful illustrations and charming text will have young readers following and singing along with Flo.Review Quotes
Pastel and primary colors are woven together to create bright and eye-catching artwork, while Flo's playful expressions shift through the emotions of happiness, frustration, and relief. This story is perfect for communicating to young children the importance of listening to their parents and the possible repercussions of not following instructions. A charming and interactive tale.
--School Library Journal (starred review) Jarvis' brightly scrawled style creates busy, colorful spreads that are punctuated with many tiny insect friends throughout, leavening the chase scene; Flo is never completely alone. This lively little ditty is just ducky.
--Kirkus Reviews Jarvis (Who Is Happy?) strikes a forthrightly sweet mood, with a singsong text that circles back on itself for a happy ending, and mixed-media paintings in a nursery palette of soft, textured pastels (exceptions are bright yellow Flo and the equally bright orange fox). The only ironic note is the side-eye Flo gives readers when her dad is singing; even the most well-behaved readers will relate.
--Publishers Weekly Flo makes an utterly kid-relatable heroine as she rolls her eyes at Daddy Duck's attempts to control her antics and engages in some playful rebellion. Jarvis' art is invitingly busy, matching the enthusiastic text, and bold colors and bigger spreads make for easy viewing. Limber up your body and warm up your voice for this rollicking tale of taking the long way around.
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Flo is a happy little duck who never wants to listen or follow the rules. That seems to work out for her until the day dad wants them to go on a trip. Despite him very seriously telling her to follow him at all times, Flo wanders away. At first, she has a great time, until she realizes a fox is following her. Suddenly, she remembers her dad’s instructions, and follows them—saving herself from danger.
This over-sized, brightly illustrated book has a good message about following instructions, especially from a parent. It is wrapped up in a fun story that will catch a child’s attention, not scare them, but at the same time, warn them of the importance of listening and following directions.
It will be easy for children to see where little Flo messes up, and to ask them what Flo should have done differently. This is a great learning tool with an important lesson. It doesn’t seem like teaching at all, but instead a cheery tale that will get its message across. Just like Aesop’s Fables there is a good moral to the story. I highly recommend this 5-star book for all children through second grade.
