Flamingo Sunset tells the story of the life cycle of a flamingo, starting with the mother flamingo laying her egg up to when the baby flamingo grows up enough to fly on his own. Although this is a non-fiction picture book, it is written in a story form. Kids probably won’t even realize they’re learning something by reading it! The gorgeous illustrations also give it the feel of a story book. I liked the fact that there is an author’s note at the end of the book that gives more detailed information about flamingos. If your little ones have questions while you read this book to them, the author’s note comes in very handy.

I love flamingos and this is a great book for children to learn about these beautiful birds. ( )

Another in a long line of extremely well done books with a nature focus, this book is truly worth the time to read, even if you do think of flamingos as little more than awkward stick-legged oddballs like I do. ( )
