Don't Be Preposterous, Mr. Rhinoceros!
by
Gloria Fligg
Mr. Rhinoceros, the friendly florist, loves his flower shop. He enjoys planting seeds and growing beautiful flowers. Even more, Mr. Rhinoceros loves his customers and friends. But one day, he hears about some big and terrible weeds that are beginning to grow all over town, forcing everyone to stay inside for a very long time! Mr. Rhinoceros misses his flower shop and friends very much, but he finds a way to help those he cares about during this strange and unusual time. Mr. Rhinoceros learns that when things are hard, sometimes the best way to help yourself is to help those around you.
Gloria Fligg is an experienced early years teacher with a particular focus on literacy and assisting students with additional learning needs. She believes in the power of story as an excellent way to both teach and inspire children to understand what is happening around them, while developing resiliency and compassion. Gloria is excited to team up with her son Benjamin Fligg, who is a talented artist and the illustrator of "Don't Be Preposterous, Mr. Rhinoceros!" Both Gloria and Benjamin had a vision for this book to carry a timeless message, while also helping children to understand the events of the time in which it was written.
