Do You Really Know Flamingos?

Animal facts have never been so funny, in this picture book that celebrates curiosity and communication

"Dainty pink birds are my specialty."

"Would a DAINTY bird sound like this? REE-ROH, REE-ROH, HONK, HONK, HONK!"

"OH MY! That wasn't dainty at all."

"We flamingos are full of surprises."

Frank E. Armadillo, Expert Explorer Extraordinaire, can't help sharing details about their latest discovery: delicate, pretty princess birds! Frank E. knows what flamingos eat (pink cotton candy), where they live (only the swankiest, most exclusive beaches), and even why they stand on one leg (they're practicing to be ballerinas, of course). But then he's interrupted by a real-life Flamingo who has some astonishing news for him . . .

In this laugh-out-loud and fact-filled series-opener, Frank discovers they don't know what they don't know, and that real experts ask questions.
