With lively cartoon-style illustrations by Steve Weaver and featuring beautiful full color photographs that very nicely enhanced Jan Lee Wicker's simple and informative text, Those Funny Flamingos answers twenty basic questions about those big pink birds that became popular lawn ornaments back in the 1950s. Young readers will learn why flamingos characteristically stand on one leg and eat upside down, how flamingos stay dry, if flamingos can salute, how flamingos can bend their knees backwards, why they have webbed feet, how many eggs they lay, whether or not baby flamingos are pink, and more. Those Funny Flamingos is highly recommended for curious kids and any adult who has ever wondered about those distinctive pink birds!
