DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT FLAMINGOS?written and illustrated by Brandon Todd

Flamingos and nonfiction are given a refreshing uplift in writer-illustrator Brandon Todd’s DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT FLAMINGOS? Narrator Frank E. Armadillo knows everything, or so he’d like you to believe. The E. in his name is for “expert, explorer, extraordinary.” Young listeners become suspicious of this unreliable guide when he tells them that sand is from old sandwich crumbs and he labels flying flamingos “a FLOCK of pretty, pretty princess birds.” Thankfully a truly knowing flamingo is on hand to straighten Frank out. A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance, and they are not dainty we learn as she fills a page with boisterous cries. Misinformation is confronted by information about habitat, color, mud love and more! You can find a link to the book in the purchase button below.
