Fun and Insightful
My children and I found Flipflopi to be a fun, meaningful and interesting book.
The journey from trash to boat was interesting, my kids got a huge kick out of seeing if the boat would actually float. The added information about Flipflopi was amazing; after reading the story we checked out the website and watched some Youtube videos.
I rather liked that the story focused on pollution, with added tips at the end on ways to reduce said pollution by eliminating single-use plastics.
I would have liked more details on how they melted down the plastics and the boat was actually crafted, and the impact it maybe had on air pollution.
The illustrations are colorful and help drive home the impact of pollution/trash on our lands and in the waters. The artist did a fantastic job capturing the characters facial expressions throughout the story.
