Flamingos Spiral-Bound | 2022-07-05

With its long, slender neck and legs, as well as its red, orange, or pink feathers, the flamingo quite literally stands out from other birds. Color photographs capture the beauty of these large birds, and captions add information for most of the snapshots. The main text provides general information about the flamingo, including its physical features, diet, and habitat of this. Vocabulary words are boldly printed in blueish gray within the text and defined at the bottom of the page. A small world map shows the areas where flamingos live. An engaging feature of this book is the inclusion of a brief folktale about the flamingo, supporting cross-curricular learning. No content consultant is noted but readers will find a list of additional books and websites for further learning. This book is part of the "Amazing Animals" series, which aims to provide introductory information and stunning photographs of each featured animal. Teachers will find the book (and series) to be a wonderful addition for a science unit on animals or birds. Younger children may enjoy listening to the text read aloud and examining the photos. -Children's Literature, 10/09/2022
