Flooded: Winner of the Klaus Flugge Prize for Illustration 2023 Paperback – 5 Jan. 2023

I pre-ordered this book after seeing the illustrations online and falling in love with the style.It was even better in real life than I had hoped. The illustrations are gorgeous and the message is really important at the moment. It's a very light touch story that could be enjoyed as it is, but which could also lead to discussions about more serious topics. I have bought copies of the book to share with friends who are teachers as this is the kind of book my primary classes would have loved me to read to them. I think it could be used to base a series of lessons on. Wonderful book, highly recommended.

Great thanks

Great story for children 4-7. Used at school and the children loved it.

Love the book - the story is wonderful.Buyers must be aware that the Kindle edition does not put the paghes in correct order - the physical copy has a fold out section - whereas the kindle edition does not allow this to be seen.

The animals have so much character and expression - it’s a joy to read. My 2 daughters love it and ask for it every night 😍.

Flooded is the most amazing book! It will appeal to adults and children alike! Beautifully illustrated and intriguing storyline. Stunning! I shall be buying many more copies of this book.

Brilliantly written and illustrated by the super talented Mariajo Ilustrajo. Highly recommended *****

What a brilliant idea for a story and a wonderfully illustrated book.Flooded shows a menagerie of animals waking up to see that their community has flood water making travel and usual activities difficult and nearly impossible for the smaller ones.At first they adjust by wearing wellies and splashing in puddles until the water rises beyond ankle deep. Eventually, it is only the giraffes that can keep their heads above water.I loved the simplicity of the story; the brevity of the words and slogans used. The drawings and diversity of the animal kingdom will keep younger minds guessing and pointing out different characters on each reading.Of course there is a more profound parable being played out in this clever book. The slowness to respond and the solution being within reach if everyone works together.But as in this story if we leave it too late, the “clean up” will take longer and the consequences may be with us for far longer than necessary.A terrific debut; a book to treasure and hold close to your heart.

The illustrations are just wow. And every time we read the book, my child (almost 5 years old) spots something new and there is so much conversation.

Tenía muchas ganas de conseguir este libro. Admiro mucho el trabajo de su autora, y sin duda, este álbum resulta original y fresco en todos los sentidos. Con doble lectura, se disfruta un montón.

A heartwarming story beautifully executed visuals, such a delight to read and view.
