flam amp middot boy amp middot ant amp ndash (of a person amp ndash or bird! amp ndash or their behavior) tending to attract attention because of their confidence, exuberance, and stylishness
This fun and funny bird's-eye tome to individuality, community, and harmony follows the reactions of a neighborhood full of birds when a amp ldquo flamboyance amp rdquo of flamingos moves in. Each band of birds-a gaggle of geese, a dole of doves, a charm of finches, a brood of chickens, a scream of swifts, and an unkindness of ravens-all have their feathers ruffled and express their apprehension about the new and different arrivals. Bright pink colors, long legs, how dare they!
Even a watch of nightingales patrols after dark. When the band of jays decides it is time to settle down the neighborhood, the pride of peacocks takes the lead, with support from a waddle of penguins, a venue of vultures, a mob of emus, and a gulp of cormorants. Finally, they all land at the flamingos amp rsquo welcome party only to realize that they had all been birdbrained. Their new neighbors are actually quite charming, and not so scary and different after all. Includes a note from the author on helping children to learn about acceptance, avoid stereotyping, and model welcoming behavior.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
