About this book

Farmer is very busy doing jobs all day, and the final (most important) job is to tickle Flo the sheepdog’s tummy. 

So when Farmer is sick one day, Flo decides to help by doing all the jobs. The animals tell her what needs doing, and soon Flo is confidently collecting the geese and feeding the eggs. Then she brushes carrots and sows sheep. Oh no, Flo! She’s in a bit of a muddle... 

This delightful picture book is full of silly mix-ups that should have children roaring the refrain: ‘Oh no, Flo!’ It’s always fun when the child reader knows something that the character doesn’t, and there are lots of opportunities to point out what Flo's done wrong. 

The bright, friendly illustrations are full of character – never have so many farm animals looked so worried! There is also a sneering cat to spot on every spread (who is not so superior by the end...)

With many opportunities to join in with the repeated refrain, this is a very funny farmyard fiasco.
