Flamingos come in all shades of pink, depending on what they eat! They dip their beaks upside down in the water to sift for tiny crustaceans full of beta carotene. Chicks are gray until they eat enough. Carefully controlled text and excellent photos will have early readers flocking to these big birds.

A search-and-find feature makes this book a fun treat. Picture prompts and an ending quiz build new vocabulary and create a successful foundation for emergent readers.
