Thank you to Speak Up Talk Radio for having this contest with entrance fees that are used to provide pillowcases for women and children in homeless shelters.
I’ve told Flip Flap Floodle since I was 5 years old. I told it to everyone who would listen. I told it to the children in my class when I taught school. When I became pregnant with my first child, I thought it would be great to get Flip Flap Floodle published as a book so my child could read it. After trying for years and years to get someone to publish it, I decided to take a chance on myself. I illustrated it and self-published it in 2004. I am thrilled that I can now say I am an award-winning writer! Hip Hip Hooray!
When you and your child read Flip Flap Floodle, I hope it will capture your heart and fill you with the belief and courage to keep on going even when things seem really bad.
One parent said,
“My daughter sleeps with the book every night.”
A grandma said, “My grandson goes around singing Flip Flap Floodle all day.”
Many adults say, “Flip’s song bubbles up in my mind when trouble meets me in the eyes. I sing and hum his song. It helps me believe I can get through it and I don’t give up.”

Reviews
FULL OF FUN***** 5 stars
Flip Flap Floodle, a sweet trusting musical duckling encounters several characters on his way to Grandma’s house. There’s Mr. Chicken, Mr. Bear, and the baddy-wad Mr. Fox.
This is a delightful story on several developmental levels: colorful illustrations to entertain toddlers; a funny story that will enrapture kindergarten-age children; a self-reader for first and second graders; a good message for older children; and a musical book to please all children.
A great twist at the end! …Best regards, Joan Reid
