The Fussy Flamingo by Jonnie Wild

The Fussy Flamingo by Jonnie Wild

"Fantastically funny is the latest in the Five Flamingos series from team Wild and Granström.. Brita’s hilarious scenes heighten the drama of Jonnie’s text with its playful language and plethora of speech bubbles: together they’ve created a tasty tale of a fussy eater that youngsters will relish."

"This is a super picture book on so many levels.  It’s a gorgeous and colourful introduction to African wildlife, it’s a great story to reinforce colours with your children, it’s a wonderful tale for fussy-eaters to read, but most of all, it deserves huge brownie points for supporting wildlife conservation in Africa because the author’s royalties will be donated in support of wildlife habitat conservation projects in Africa."

"Each page is full of spectacularly coloured illustrations and makes wonderful reading."
