Flamingos

Long neck curls, Pink legs wade, Meet the flamingo! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these tropical shorebirds. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the birds' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an Argentinian tale about the flamingo adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
