There are things that little duckies should do every day, but little Flo did not do any of these things. Flo only did what she wanted to do. One day, Daddy duck and Flo went to visit Auntie Jenna’s new nest. He told Flo in his most serious voice, “You have to FOLLOW ME all the way or you will get lost.” Flo promised to follow him and off they went. Daddy made up a song for them to sing about how she needed to follow him, and they sang it as they went. Flo decided to sing a different song the way she liked it. Soon she was lost with a fox following her. She suddenly remembered Daddy’s song and was able to catch up to him and lose the fox. That night Flo did all the things little duckies should do. The next day, Daddy let Flo lead them home. 

I really enjoyed Follow Me Flo! I clearly understood the message of the need to obey your parents to keep safe and healthy, but there will be opportunities to express yourself in your own way. The storyline is cute and engaging with colorful expressive illustrations. Young children will love the story read to them and will know what’s going on just by looking at the pictures.
