"Many children (and grown-ups) dream of being able to leap and twirl and pose with the grace of a trained dancer … or, in this case, an amazingly elegant flamingo. Flora, a plump little girl in a pink swimsuit, bathing cap and flippers, approaches the artiste with bravery and wonderful determination. Words aren’t necessary (or included) as the dance commences. Flaps are lifted to show each dancer’s reactions. Midway through it is obvious that the flamingo has resigned herself to teaching this strange new creature, and by the end they share an enthusiastic friendship. This book is graceful, goofy and positive on so many levels. (For ages 4 to 6)"
