Description

A perfect book for sharing with fussy eaters

Baby Flamingo is a VERY fussy eater!

“I don't like flingo weed,” says Baby. “I'm going to find a family that eats something delicious.”

Baby visits the monkeys, the bats, the giraffes and the anteater, but he doesn't like ANY of their food. So he goes to the river to see what Crocodile likes to eat!

This is the fourth exciting adventure in the Five Flamingos series, following The Carnivorous Crocodile, The Mud Monster and The Yum Yum Tree.

The author's royalties for the series will be donated in support of wildlife habitat conservation projects in Africa.
