Miss Mingo the flamingo takes her students on a hike, but the weather doesn't cooperate. Hail, rain, and snow create different problems for each of the animals; Harper provides sidebar explanations of animal traits as the story progresses. At times these explanations slow the narrative, but fans of the Miss Mingo books won't mind. Lively art accompanies the tale.
