“Cushman's introduction to these tall pink wading birds delivers abundant information with a smile. . . . Bright, child-friendly artwork details these birds in a variety of poses and settings. . . . Factual text appears on spreads, sidebars, and diagrams, while snarky commentary emerges in speech bubbles. . . . Cushman has a good handle on what facts will interest her readers. . . . This should suit report writers and browsers alike.” — Booklist“Funky is the word for this humorous guide to flamingos of all sorts. . . . A useful introduction that will entertain readers as it shares fascinating facts about these colorful birds, and a helpful addition to units on birds or animal adaptations” — School Library Journal“Cushman. . . once again treats young readers to the wonders of the animal world. . . . [Her] conversational, often jokey tone and direct address invite reader engagement. . . . The digital illustrations with a sunny palette humorously amplify the text through both facial expressions and exaggerated antics. . . . Back matter consists of scientific information (such as size, weight, and conservation status), a glossary, and suggestions for further reading.” — Horn Book Magazine
