Description


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.

Praise For…


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.
