Our review:

A tastefully trimmed tabby cat, shaggy sheep shrubs, edacious eggs, and a fretful flying cow. Oh No, Flo! is about a sheepdog called Flo who is spoilt with tummy rubs by the farmer. All the animals are well looked after all year round, but when the farmer becomes unwell, Flo decides to help out with running the farm – with hilarious consequences.

The ludicrous antics will have readers in fits of laughter as they try to recall what Flo should be doing, encouraging children to practise concentration and information recall. The amusing illustrations are bright and quirky, adding an extra layer of craziness for preschoolers.

After sowing sheep, milking the pig, and collecting geese – all made extra challenging with paws – will the farmer be pleased with the results? Aimed at preschool children, this is a book they’re sure to want to read again and again.
