(4) K-3 When flamingo Sylvie's mom tells her that flamingos are pink because it's the color of their food, Sylvie tests the you-are-the-color-you-eat theory. After a day of sampling everything from green palm leaves to paisley bathing suits, she feels unwell and returns to eating shrimp. The illustrations featuring expressive and colorful flamingos on richly textured backgrounds beautifully bolster an otherwise thin story.
