Inspired by Caldecott Honor book Flora and the Flamingo, this ebook is perfect for the very youngest Flora fans. When a new feathered friend seems so different from her, Flora discovers that opposites, in fact, attract! Featuring Molly Idle's graceful artwork, this adorable ebook of opposites will delight young children as they master new words and concepts. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.

#UCFLae3414F17 Flora and the Ostrich is a RF book by Molly Idle. It is one of many Flora books. The rest of the series is just pictures with no text, this one is different. This book uses Flora to depict opposites, usually between her and the Ostrich. It is a cute and engaging picture book, with many flip pages that show the Ostrich doing the opposite of whatever Flora is doing. This book would be great for RA‘s and CR.

I would use ESOL 9 and

JordanHull and have the student make a T-chart with the main word on one side and its opposite on the other. For UDL 6.3 the chart would help them manage the new information and they could add to it with opposites they see in everyday life.

The text is simple and you can do many lessons that enrich the opposites theme.
