A perfect book for sharing with fussy eaters Baby Flamingo is a VERY fussy eater! "I don' t like flingo weed," says Baby. "I' m going to find a family that eats something delicious. " Baby visits the monkeys, the bats, the giraffes and the anteater, but he doesn' t like ANY of their food. So he goes to the river to see what Crocodile likes to eat!" This is the fourth exciting adventure in the Five Flamingos series, following The Carnivorous Crocodile, The Mud Monster and The Yum Yum Tree. The author' s royalties for the series will be donated in support of wildlife habitat conservation projects in Africa.
"Vibrantly illustrated. . . a lovely introduction to African animals, with royalties supporting wildlife conservation. " - Parents in Touch on The Yum Yum Tree "A great book for kids to read before bath-time - creates a fun build-up to a splash-around. It' s a brilliant tale of how your imagination can sometimes create scary creatures out of things that turn out to be friendly, whilst learning all about African animals and where they live. The use of numbers and repetitive language is ideal for helping children learn to read too. " - Discover Animals on The Mud Monster "[A] delightful story of working together. There' s a wonderful twist at the end of the story, that children will love. This is the first in the Five Flamingos series. " - Parents in Touch on The Carnivorous Crocodile
