About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is hesitant to try new things, like climbing at the playground or leaving a parent's side. 'Flip, Flap, Fly!' gently follows several baby animals as their mothers encourage them to master their first skills: a bird learns to fly, a fish to swim, and an otter to slide. This sweet, repetitive story reinforces themes of maternal love, growing independence, and the joy of making friends. For ages 2 to 5, its simple, lyrical text and reassuring message make it a perfect read-aloud to build a little one's confidence before they venture out to play.
