(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kristina Rodanas. From an egg laid in a cone-shaped mud nest to the chick's first flight, this book chronicles the start of a flamingo's life. Though the information is sparse, London's prose is lyrical. Realistic watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations, strong with pinks and turquoises, are evocative of tropical climes. An author's note provides more facts about the habits, diet, and habitat of the birds.
